BTW if you are using bminer on windows, on grinmint pool DO NOT format your bat file as follows:

doing this will create a new dashboard for you on grinmint under the email sample@this.com.worker
you can search for this email in the dashboard search box. using a syntax like this will not show under sample@this.com with a worker named "worker"

You can probably omit the worker and password and it will just show under your email as "default" worker. I was trying but grinmint is down right now so I havent tested it. I tried email/worker and that didnt show under my dashboard either. I'm still trying to find the correct syntax for grinmint.

also on grinmint you dont need to include the password when mining and it is highly suggested you do NOT because bminer uses an unencrypted port
