I just pulled the latest code on http://qcn.cryptity.com/
It finally has tcp/stratum protocol support! It should decrease the number of orphan blocks (more coins for miners).

Also pool mining fee reduced to 0.5%

Thanks for your support!

Same address/port for stratum?

Nevermind: Saw the update on the Getting Started page Wink

Thanks!

I keep getting "Stratum connection failed: Could not resolve host: qcn.cryptity.com"
In between a few hashes. I put "qcn.cryptity.com" to the pool host and then port to the other field. Is this the right way to insert the host or do i  need a prefix? Thanks

Not sure if you are using cpuminer or not, but here is my batch file and it works fine on 6 rigs:

Code:
minerd.exe -a cryptonight -t 8 -o stratum+tcp://qcn.cryptity.com:6666 -u username -p x
Sorry I forgot to point that out, I'm using Cryptonote easy miner from http://qcn.cryptity.com/#getting_started

BUT I will start using cpuminer now.
1. So do I need anything else than http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/ to get started?
2. I just copy and paste that line you posted and replace "username" with my wallet address (that I created with simplewallet) and x with its password? Then save it to the same destination where I extracted "pooler-cpuminer-2.4-win64.zip" and have quazarcoind. exe (synchronized) and simplewallet.exe, and I need to just open the batch to start mining, right?
3. I have quazarcoind.exe running, the daemon. I just cant connect to daemon (Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon ." The port is correct. When I open simplewallet.exe and refresh, it wont connect to daemon even though quazarcoind.exe says that I'm synchronized with the network!
Its frustrating since I don't know what the problem is..
Sorry for simple questions but I'm just struggling, also thanks for your help!

Edit: I get "unknown algorithm -- 'cryptonight'" when using the .bat, what do?
If someone wouldnt mind, could you give me a quick tutorial on how to start with cpuminer?
