EU servers *should* be the closest as I am in Europe.
Doing a ping confirms this

What happens if you run this from the GUI and not the batch file?
The GUI (v.1.2.1.0) doesnt work for me. It encounters an unhandled exception, but I can press Continue.
After that it goes looking for Nvidia GPUs and there it hangs... I only have one AMD R9 280X card in this computer... It is too late to get into JIT debugging..
So never mind the GUI.
I will experiment further with setting a value in the password field in the config. and try to run the
batch file. I may need to set parameter value for price to start mining properly.
Has anybody else successfully managed to get this miner to work with other pools than nicehash?
