although on website and on paper it says it can use guiminer i had no luck. The java console is pretty good. it's only like 2-10% off from your phatk 3% modded phoenix miner.

Are you using your account instead of making a worker with it's own username/password? I see no reason for it to decline a worker account :O Deepbit for example automatically makes a default worker with same credentials as main account, Minter doesn't do that iirc.

It should work with any miner. Is it saying invalid username/password?

Good idea making a default worker. But I don't have people's passwords, as I'm using OpenID for logins. Also, I wouldn't want to use the main account password for miners, since miners send them in cleartext, which means someone snooping on your network traffic would get your password. Therefore, using the main password for workers is a security risk.
