does anyone know how to setup GUIminer-srypt to mine Coinye? I got the pool/worker all setup but its constantly saying "connecting" in the log file. I have no problem using command line BFGminer, but would prefer GUI miner since i used that back in the day with Bitcoin.

Coinye devs need to setup a forum on the official site for us to discuss this coin. Nothing worst than a start up and not having any way to ask people for help. If they had a Coinye official forum then at least you know the people hanging around also are into Coinye so they will help asap.
