About to finish synchronizing blocks in Doge, how to pool dig in dogecoin-qt?

[narad_muni]

I started herd digging in dogecoin -qt, how can I start pool digging? I've heard it's better. Do I need any other client for digging/mining or can I do it in dogecoin -qt itself? It has the option of pool digging but it's failing right now( maybe because sync is still going on).

What are you mining with? If you have a supported graphics card, you can use CGminer or CUDAminer. If you're mining with your CPU, you could use CPUminer. All three of them have stratum support, which is what most pools use at the moment.

As stated above, you should use a mining software for mining, CUDAminer for Nvidia, CGminer for radeons. CPUminer is self-explanatory.

download what you're going to use, then create .dat file in the folder with the .exe file and type this in:

For cgminer

/cgminer --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://pool adress -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password

For cudaminer

cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool adress -O username.workername:workerpassword

Save it and then just run the .dat file and it starts mining in the pool.

I don't have a graphics card in this laptop, I'm just trying to get familiar with whole virtual currency thing and testing it right now. I have CGminer right now. I'll do serious mining later on my other machine which I'll have access to in two weeks and I want to learn as much as I can before that. I got interested in this due to doge thing. 

Also, do I have to sync every time I open dogecoin wallet program? I mean login my info and do the digging thing? I have to do it every time I open the program?

Thanks!

I think you meant .bat file.

I don't have graphics card on this one, some Intel accelerator so I guess I have to do CPU mining.

I'm done with syncing, have been trying cgminer but it closes itself inside a second. This is what I wrote in batch file of cgminer.

/cgminer --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://www.dogecoinpool.com:3333 -u usernameonwebsite.workerIcreated -p workerpass

Is there anything wrong in this? Thanks!
