I would love to be added to the free mining, curious to see how much of a difference it will be to my main worker here.

Just not 100% on what info you need.  Sorry, still trying to learn this, all I've used so far is bitminter. It's all I know how to use at this point, LOL!

Any helpful info is appreciated.

Your worker can be anything you want

Most pools use . or _ then a name for the worker and the password is usually x

so for example if your username on CEX was Potato you could use anything after that for example Potato.1 with a password of x

ie

-o (output) http://us1.cex.io:3333 (pool address and port) -u Potato.1 (Worker Name) -p x (Worker Password)

For Bitminter instead of . it uses _

so the only difference in syntax is it would be Potato_1 instead of Potato.1

I'm so confused. LOL!

I don't see how my worker has a password here. I just created another worker and it didn't ask me to make a password.

Not sure if I figured this out or not, here goes: stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u IamCANADIAN013_Worker3 -p x

Does that look right?
