Can I check the name of the .conf file?
I've set everything up as I would do for any other coin but CGminer starts and then doesen't kick into mining.
Edit:
Resolved think it was the port. Might be that I also saw the .conf elsewhere as hobonickel.conf both now changed and mining away.
Good glad to hear it! Welcome aboard. Just for your information best practices for mining are to create a secondary wallet called stake, and move coins in batches from ~default to stake when you accumulate a few hundred or so. This will keep the wallet running nice and smooth and keep you from using coins that are going to stake.
