God man, I haven't used IRC in like, 15 years...

I'll try with the command line option ;-)

F:\cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-20140204>cgminer --btc-address S3U5mUeErWcatHauEP4MBAzkweHXMJoRah
 [22:30:09] Log date is now 2017-07-10
 [22:30:09] cgminer: --btc-address: unrecognized option
 
(I have everything else in cgminer.conf)

I'll keep playing with it.

I also tried with normal cgminer 3.7.2...

cgminer -o http://localhost:9561 -u XXXXX -p x

Yields:

[2017-07-10 22:38:24] Started cgminer 3.7.2

 [2017-07-10 22:38:24] Started cgminer 3.7.2

 [2017-07-10 22:38:27] Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid

I've been mining for over 7 years now ;-) plus 30 years in IT. Maybe there is something wrong with listener? Does anyone else have these issues solo mining with new wallet? Does it work for anyone else? I'm starting to feel inadequate...

I may switch to Linux box and see if I can get it working there.

This is giving a guy a complex...
