I know it says this, but when i was setting up i kept getting the stratum errors.. finally someone mention to try making the worker manually, so i added the worker with name and password i used on awesome miner, didnt touch awesome miner at all and pressed start, it connected and worked... so in my experience i had to add it...
So.... if your website login name is JoeSmo and you want to make a worker with name Test and password x....
in awesome miner you have to add JoeSmo.Test and password x after you add it to the website under workers....
Also, another thing you have to do on MPH, is adjust the mining options either pick a auto selection set or a single algo... if you never touch this option either it will not connect either.. even after making the worker
I could swear I configured it exactly like that, perhaps my problem is not knowing which server to point awesome at, there is so much config info on that MPH site that it basically devolves into spam (and the offered help for it is 'need some knowledge to set up'). Maybe you might know enough to tell me how to configure the url (guess I should say server address). Awesome doesn't have a spot for the port, so I just assumed you'd set it after the server : spot, but they just give you port 12XXX which is pretty vague, and Im really not even sure what the server addy is for Multi-algo switch mining.. Also, thanks! I did look through the server options, and pretty sure I set it to multi algo, but I will double check that (yup, its set).
Another thing that is confusing is in your example you just used a username, but its setup to login with my email addy, so not sure if I am just supposed to remove the @, etc as my username. I am imagining they switched over from usernames to email addresses and forgot to alter their examples on server config.
