Hey all. I'm new to actually attempting to mine crypto currencies (whalebone got me interested during a convo we had last night), and I could use a bit of help. I have my wallet set up, but am having a bit of a problem connecting to the dot.pools.triplehexxx and related pools. I'm unsure if my command inputs are correct (windows user) in the command prompt. When I tried to connect, I get a "JSON decode failed(1):'[' or '{' expected near '<' getblocktemplate failed, falling back to getwork" message. Please excuse my ignorance, as I know very little about this. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi VexusMalius,
I need a little more infos to help. Which device (graphiccard), which miner (software) and the content of your .bat file (leave password and user blank) or your input at the command promt if you write direct into it.
The error sounds a little like syntaxerror.
For cgminer 3.7.2 and an ati r9 280/290 it looks like this: cgminer --scrypt -I 20 --thread-concurrency 32768 -o stratum+tcp://dot.pools.triplehexxx.net:3333 -u username -p password
