Dedicatedpool does not work. I have got coins there...
for those of you that might be new to mining.
dedicated pool isn't one you need to worry about. they are one of the top pools and carry the highest hashrate.
i beg you to always have backup pools within your bat or config files.
to setup a backup you simply need to edit your bat file like this
--scrypt -o stratum+tcp://uvc.poolerino.com:3366 -u jollyriffic.1 -p x -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3393 -u jollyriffic.1 -p x
as you can see you just keep adding the -o url -u username -p password one after another in your bat (at least this is how i do it)
i've got more pools than this as backups but for the purpose of this demonstration you just need to see the two.
if you really want you can add a billion backup pools.
your cgminer or w/e you're using will set the first -o as pool 0 second in the list will be -1 and so on.
if the first pool goes down, it jumps to the next. once the first pool is back up, it swaps back. this is all automatic
