wow, indeed my cgminer bat works fine if I just pull out the --scrypt part, I had tried it before (and I had changed cgminer to say sgminer) but I didn't know I needed to leave out the --scrypt part.
Seems to be up and running; thanks!
Nice, this should be posted on mintpool.us hompage for sure.
Need to update the connection settings info on
http://mint.mintpool.us/mint/index.php too
In the help section the port is given as 4444 where it should be 3333
Thanks deadmanwalking

3333 is DOGE, 4444 is MINT. The subdomains point to the same address, so the service is separated by using different ports.
Their docs are correct.
Hmm, yep looks like I've been donating Doge for the last couple of hours...
I'm having trouble connecting on port 4444 though, I get the following error from sgminer 4.1.0:
[16:00:24] No servers were found that could be used to get work from.
[16:00:24] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input
[16:00:24] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers
[16:00:24] Pool: 0 URL: stratum+tcp://mint.mintpool.us:4444 User: MboMKvM1eKimeX5uWZaERpVmTN7c4Yr2F9 Password: x
using the following command
...\sgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://mint.mintpool.us:4444 -u MboMKvM1eKimeX5uWZaERpVmTN7c4Yr2F9 -p x
Everything looks OK to me - any ideas where I'm going wrong?
