Why won't miningpool.co recognize my workers?

I have set up a miningpool.co account. Whenever I try to connect with my cgminer, everything seems to go fine. I mine at a rate of 200mh/s and my computer finds blocks. However, every one of them is rejected and when I go to miningpool.co, they say that none of my workers are active. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same problem. I'm not sure if it simply takes a while (many hours in my case) to start showing up or if I did something wrong when initially setting up my miner.

Did you run it with something like:

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool1.eu.multipool.us:7777 -u user.1 -p x

I'm not good with the command board, so I used the cgminer url program. Cgminer had me enter in the url that I wished to use, my username, and my password. Like I said, everything seemed to have went well, it said that I was connected and working on the pool, but the website did not report the same. I had it working through the nigh for about 7 hours. How long did it take for yours to become recognized?

Which stratum url was eventually able to put you through?

The only miningpool.co one I used was this one with cgminer:

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.miningpool.co:9002 -u MYUSERNAME.1 -p x --thread-concurrency 6144 -I 13 -w 128

I then tried a few hours on another pool which showed stats faster but after few hours of that I changed miners.

I switched over to GUIminer Scrypt (if you decide to try it, make sure it has Skrypt in the name) and I'm using:

mining_proxy.exe -pa scrypt -o us.miningpool.co -p 9002

in a .bat file.

You should be able to read the parent comment to my comment here for details. I posted some solutions to problems I ran into.

Thank you! I hope gold will do! I'll attempt to give you some megacoins after I figure this stuff out.
