Yes, i had the same issue. Make sure you set it up, get on a pool, etc. You dont have to make a bat tho if you dont know how and i prefer short cuts anyways. You can right click, create short cut to desktop, then right click the short cut, go to properties, and on the target, just type the command like stoneyshows above.
Btw, Thanks for the wemineltc pool suggestions, its night and day difference!
Also, anyone still trying to fix that stratum failed to parse error? Would love a fix o.O, is it not that common? I would expect it to be fairly common..
I am old school, I just find Bat files easier since they are plain text and you just cut and paste. Shortcuts can be a pain to setup with parameters.
Either way works.
