I have download a cgminer from https://pool.dogechain.info/ and followed through with the steps in the same order what was recommended. Even after a few tries I have error messages and the mining does not begin.  

Here is the message.

 [2014-01-31 20:53:25] Started cgminer 3.7.2
 [2014-01-31 20:53:25] Started cgminer 3.7.2

 [2014-01-31 20:53:26] Need to specify at least one pool server.


File name is cgminer.conf
My settings are ...

{

   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum1.dogechain.info:3333",
      "user" : "miner1",

   }
],
"scrypt" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"

"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",

"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

Not sure if this is acceptable here but I would tip the first person who sees me though this problem and helps me start out my miner. Tips of 5000 Dogecoins.

Thank you.

Hi.
The problem is the "d", try it again without it

"intensity" : "d,9,9,9",

Cheers

-u Weblogin.Worker

have you set up your username.worker properly?

Should be

Problem is in bold below. You have an extra closing brace after the "kernel-path" line that doesn't belong there. You also have "kernel-path" declared twice for some reason.

looks like miner1 is your  worker name , not your user ....maybr.

Tried each of the suggestions given but I still get the same message and I am going nowhere with my mining! Thank you nevertheless. ...

Okay. try this one
