Title: authentication problem mining dogecoin
Post by: yayitswei on December 13, 2013, 06:19:20 PM
Hi, I'm trying to mine dogecoin from a pool using cpuminer 2.3.2:

minerd --url=stratum+tcp://doge.scryptpools.com:3333 --userpass=worker.pass

Where "worker.pass" is the credentials for the worker I created on the site.

However, I keep getting "authentication failed":

[2013-12-14 02:02:13] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
[2013-12-14 02:02:13] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://doge.scryptpools.com:3333

[2013-12-14 02:02:14] Stratum authentication failed
[2013-12-14 02:02:14] ...retry after 30 seconds

Could anyone help me troubleshoot the problem? Much thanks in advance!

Is that username / password combination written correctly? I use it like USERNAME.WORKERNAME:WORKERPASS (http://doges.org/index.php?topic=592.0 (http://doges.org/index.php?topic=592.0) dogecoin guide)

Actually, I believe it might be because minerd doesn't support the stratus protocol?

Now I'm trying to install the stratus proxy from here: https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy (https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy)

Oh nevermind, I got it to work without the proxy! The issue was exactly what you pointed out-- the proper login was  yayitswei.myworker:password, where yayitswei is my login name for the pool.

Thanks for the tip.
