I can't seem to make this work for alternatepool.com .
Point Your Miner To:
stratum+tcp://miner.alternatepool.com:3333
Username:
cudaminer -o stratum+tcp://miner.alternatepool.com:3333 -u 1ABGZH6oWW6QbkPG4JEajC2q2bFMaJAhci -p x
Here is my output:
[2013-12-03 22:44:06] 1 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2013-12-03 22:44:06] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://miner.alternatepool.com:

btw, I have this working fine on multipool.us
That is odd..works fine for me on that pool did you try -O Address:x instead?
