What does the "Proof of work result: false" mean? Is it a stale block, meaning a block I just solved, but someone else beat me to it and published it first?

user85: You're solo mining. So there's nothing useful you can do with a share -- there's nothing for you to share in. Every share you find will be rejected, unless you actually mine a block.
