I have signed up with
http://xiv.cipherpool.com/ and created a worker with a name and password. I downloaded cgminer 3.7.0 and created a bat file that has
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.cipherpool.com:8839 -u workername -p 2112 password
the name and password are the same as the worker on
http://xiv.cipherpool.com/.
I run the bat file and it says this and then closes.
Started cgminer 3.7.0
Probing for an alive pool
Pool 0 difficulty changed to 20
pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: (null)
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Sounds to me like it didn´t take the workername and password. Remember, the Username for the worker in cgminer is made up of your username and your workername, for example, if you name the worker "horse" and you registered on the pool as "canen", the correct line would be: (of course you need to remove the words "workername" And "password"
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.cipherpool.com:8839 -u canen.horse -p 2112
btw. nice to see new pool going up. I´ll check it out tomorrow, maybe my ping there is a bit better. Speaks for acceptance!
Oh and PLEASE stop talking about Dogecoin. That one is so fail. I couldn´t find one good pool that is not overrun by pool hoppers, the thing is worthless in the truest sense of the word. Meme-Hype and that´s it. I much prefer something open and honest like Xivra here, where there is support and all around good feeling, even if there is no way to do anything with them, yet. Oh and I like those 12 hour confirmations. Much more secure against forks then most others. That is really, really good, seeing what is happening to some other coins out there.
