Hey, I try to mine auroracoins but having problem. All it says is started BFGminer 3.2.1.

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://188.165.197.41:3333 -u guess.1 -p XXX -u --no-submit-stale --queue 0

And I can't close the CMD window afterwards, I press the X and it takes like 5 minutes for it to close. Can't kill the process in the activity handler.

upghrade BFGminer...I thought it was up to 4.X

Yeah I used the wrong one... Changed to the right one but now the CMD window just dissapears instantly without a message..

Ok now I have this config;

J:\bfgminer-4.5.0-win64\bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3368 -u sickhouse.1 -p XXX -G --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM38 -S //./COM40 -S //./COM43 -S//./COM44 -S //./COM46

I get error message that bfgminer.exe is not a command.

Usually that's a pathing error.

Ensure that your batch file is in the same folder as your miner software.  Also, remove "J:\bfgminer-4.5.0-win64\" from your line and just go with the executable name and the rest of the string.

It's in the same folder. Removed it same error message.

Tried CGminer get the same error message. Something wrong with the computer?

I do not use windows to mine. But I did use it once to test one of my Furies before installing on my rig. What hardware are you using? Here is my .bat file I used for it.

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o pool -u user -p x --zeus-cc 6 --zeus-clk 328 -S zeus:\\.\COM3

I'm using the first (?) USB miners á 333 mh/s x5 with a fan through USB.

Still need help!

Thought aurora coin is dead.

Any particular reason why you want to mine this coin?

is the pool working? or you are mining in solo

Run it as:

(Note the "")

If the batch file is on your desktop and the program sits in the place you pointed to...

Pool and it's working.

Thank you, but I found an old config in BFG 3.2.1 - bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://trc.coin-pool.org:3340 -u sickhouse.1 -p 123 -G -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
working fine, it's on my laptop.
I'll save this for later tho, thanks again.

It is good for people to understand how it gets fixed.

I hate when people solve their problem and 2 things happen,
either they dont know how it got fixed or
dont tell others how they fixed it.  

In your first post you had 2 instances of the username -u that would cause an error


in the other one you  needed to make sure the batch file was in the bfgminer folder then you dont need confusing pathing instructions, you can just always start it with bfgminer.exe and you were giving it iccarus commands but never told it to use iccarus options.
