Hi guys, I've just started using multiminer so that i can run an R-Box and have it monitored and reset when it gets sick or dead rather than having to do it manually through bfgminer like i have been. Well I use bitminter and entered all its credentials perfectly into the client but whenever i start mining, Multiminer just signs it into eligius which is something I've never even used and certainly DONT WANT TO. Why won't it just listen to me and mine where I want? Does anyone out there have a fix? I feel like it should be noob stuff (really it SHOULDNT be an issue since I've never entered information for eligius in the 1st place). Thanks for anyone with help.

Do you have Perks enabled in MultiMiner?
Yes
What you are seeing is the 1% donation for enabling perks. If you disable perks, it will remove the donation. I don't know all the details how it works but I don't use perks as I mine very few coins and I don't switch for profit etc.
Bitminter wasn't recieving any hashpower even though i'd set them up in the initial setup wizard. Do i have to wait for 1% of a day to pass before it switches over? Or is it taken out gradually?
I recently had to reconfigure one of my pools as MultiMiner was not connecting properly and would move to the next pool in that coins list. The problem was I removed the "stratum+tcp://" from the pool address (many MM versions ago) and since updating MM, it would no longer connect to the pool without the stratum+tcp:// in the address. I know this for a fact as my S1 was hashing fine on the same pool that MM would/could not connect and mine until I added stratum+tcp:// in the coins url config.
The donation is gradual, so there must be something wrong with your pool connection/setup as your equipment is mining and donating 1% to the MM dev. I suggest checking with BTCGuild or Slush pool (if mining SHA-256).
Hope that helps some.
Check with BTCGuild or slush pool? What about exactly? I've only been to MM and here to deal with miner issues. Not sure why I'm being sent off to different pools...
And you type stratum+tcp:// into the field right next to where it says it's adding it in front anyway?
Only 1 instance of "stratum+tcp://" be entered.
I suggested to check your miner that it is it setup properly by pointing it at either BTCGuild or Slush pool to determine if the pool you were originally trying to connect/mine with is up or not.
Post up some screenshots of your configs etc. It is difficult to know exactly what your problem is and me just throwing somewhat random suggestions is not getting you anywhere fast.
Also, please state what mining gear you are attempting to mine with and what OS etc.
