README doesn't explain how a wallet address is specified #60

How do we specify our own wallet address with this miner? The README does not seem to explain how this is done.

hello, it's written "Make sure you have a recent version of Sia installed and running." so i guess if you run Sia UI first, unlock your wallet and then run the miner it should work (it does for me).

well it does not work like that on windows

The sia-gpu-miner is intended to be used with the Sia daemon (siad), so it will use whatever wallet the Sia instance you point it at uses. By default the miner will look for a Sia instance running on your local machine. You can specify a host address using the -H option in the command line, e.g.:

sia-gpu-miner.exe -H 127.0.0.1

Can we just add what @droghio said to the readme.md for Windows/all users. A bit more documentation won't kill anybody you know.

So I still don't understand. How do you use this against a pool? They generally expect an address. I've found the address in Sai, but how do you specify it on the command line for pool mining?

This is probably the most basic part of a miner yet here we are...
