my command looks like so:
cgminer --skein -o 127.0.0.1:14022 -u digiuser -p digipass --verbose
it doesnt start mining, i dont understand why
F:\Users\imrepc\Desktop\Cgminer_Skein>cgminer --version
cgminer 3.7.3
Please help me
You should add "http://" in front off your localhost address.
The Miningsoftware isn´t able to "decode" the IP address:
[15:44:32] HTTP request failed: The requested URL returned error: 401
[15:44:32] HTTP request failed: The requested URL returned error: 401
[15:44:32] JSON decode failed(1): '[' or '{' expected near 'HTTP'
[15:44:32] JSON decode failed(1): '[' or '{' expected near 'HTTP'
Copy&Paste from the cgminer readme:
cgminer -o
http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --btc-address 15qSxP1SQcUX3o4nhkfdbgyoWEFMomJ4rZ
Note the http:// is mandatory for solo mining.
I have just tried exactly "cgminer --skein -o
http://127.0.0.1:14022 -u digiuser -p digipass --verbose"
it does not work:

It does not carry onto the stats screen how the hell does this work.
Pool mining is fine.
what am i doing wrong.
In http the error 401 means an authorization error. I usually don't solomine so maybe you should post your .conf so someone more familiar with solomining can check it. Still, possible problems could be that rpc port, user or password are not matching those in the .bat for cgminer or lines like server=1, rpcallowip=localhost and rpcconnect=localhost (or 127.0.0.1 for localhost), that are possibly needed, are missing.
