Cannot connect to https://pool.coin-miners.info
Using port 6333 as its stated in the pool website but still getting connection error.

the pool is stratum+tcp://pool.elicoin.net:3333... 6333 is the port for CoinMiner's pool.

Pool mining
Elicoin can be mined only by CPU thanks to YescryptR16 hashing algorithm. GPU mining can be done too, but it is very slow and unefficient, that's why there is no GPU mining software available. This article is about how to mine Elicoin on CPU only.

Mine Elicoin on Windows:
Mine with Elicoin GUI Miner:
Download and install / unpack the latest version of Elicoin GUI Miner for Windows from GitHub
Run Eliminer.exe
Set your wallet address and click on Start mining button
Note that Elicoin GUI Miner is just a GUI for cpuminer-opt, it doesn't represent any additional advantage than user friendly interface.

Mine with cpuminer-opt:
Download the latest version of cpuminer-opt - Windows binary files (cpuminer-opt-x.x.x-windows.zip) and unzip the package.
Run cpuminer-opt with following parameters:
cpuminer-sse2.exe -a yescryptr16 -o stratum+tcp://pool.elicoin.net:3333 -u [YOUR WALLET ADDRESS]
[/u][/b]
You may also use cpuminer-avx2.exe program if you have a newer cpu that supports avx2.

I know I wanted to join coinminer's pool since the original pool don't pay anything. I've been mining for 2 hours already.

cpuminer-avx2.exe -a yescryptr16 -o stratum+tcp://pool.coin-miners.info:6333 -u myaddress

Doing this but no luck.
