that pool is broken.. the guy that runs it gave up
What are you referring to? I'm mining at this, albeit beta, pool:
http://184.107.145.244 and it is working. Proof, go here:
http://184.107.145.244/stats.php I'm Goldie and my shares are showing up on my workers page.
Unless it's some extremely elaborate ruse, it seems to be working as well as any other pool I've seen. At least at the moment.
block explorer of this pool paying out or it didn't happen
No, it didn't happen yet. I haven't paid anything out. So, look, I'm just saying my rig seems to be working on this pool. Maybe I'm throwing away a couple bucks on electrons. I'll pay out when I get something worth a payout. Till then my settings, that work are:
minerd.exe --algo scrypt --s 6 --threads 6 --url
http://184.107.145.244:8332 --userpass Lh6aWBUnpxR7F1srHwYt8z4u8koHU65CFj_1:1
CD to your minerd.exe folder and replace everything after 'userpass' with your miner deets. Give it a go, or post back something more useful. This is what I got going on my 6 (humble) Opteron cores, and I'm mining Ltc, as far as I can tell.
