Help with cgminer

[Bullbear]

Hi there,

I have cgminer 2.10.5. When I create a config file and load all of the necessary arguments into it, cgminer refuses to load it, it reports

"loaded configuration file xxx.conf"
"Fatal Json error in configuration file"
"Configuration file could not be used"

Then it prompts me for a pool url, port, etc. But because the scrypt argument hasn't been loaded from the config it's trying to mine bitcoin and all my shares get rejected, I've no idea how to fix this, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance


My code in the config is:

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "http://eu.notroll.in:6332",
      "user" : "Stevo0110.2",
      "pass" : "12345"
   }
],

"intensity" : "13",
"gpu-engine" : "0-800",
"gpu-thread" : "2",
"scrypt" : true,
"api-listen" : true,
"shaders" : "800",
"thread-concurrency" : "1600",
"lookup-gap" : "2"

This might sound silly, but I'm new to this,

can you type commands in the command prompt while the miner is running ie --scrypt?
and how do you save the config file, is there a dos command?

Thank's for your reply by the way!

start cgminer, add pool url, user and pass, hit s and w, enter cgminer.conf, hit enter then the config is saved, open with your fav text editor and change what you want in the file called : cgminer.conf

:: before make change in cgminer.conf, close cgminer first.

Ok, thanks, I'll give this a try.

you are missing an ending }
