What do I put in cpuminer .bat file to mine? I'd like to help the blockchain.
It says basic example
$ ./minerd --url=http://myminingpool.com:9332 --userpass=my.worker:password
Can someone give me an example of what they use?
I'm using this miner https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/an-even-more-optimized-version-of-cpuminer-poolers-cpuminer-cpu-only-55038
Thanks !

You won't have much luck with solo-mining, because of the high difficulty. Better to use a pool.
Have you tried P2Pool? http://5.45.105.66:9664/static/
Example-config to point minerd to it:
minerd -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://5.45.105.66:9664 -u walletaddress
You don't need to register on a P2Pool-node. Simply start minerd with the above line and your miner should appear in the list of miners (Tab "Active miners on this node"). As soon as the next block is found, the shares will start to be sent to your given address automatically. But remember. The shares will be lower at the beginning and ramp up over time, as is the case with every other pool using PPLNS --> https://litecoin.info/Mining_Pool_Comparison#Reward_types
moonrush.org should mostly work likewise, since it does not need a registration either, as a NOMP-based pool (at least it looks like one --> https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal ).
Edit:
The advantage of P2Pool over all other pool-concepts however is, that mining rewards are NEVER saved in a wallet on the server or sent to an intermediary wallet to be sent out from there later on. The shares are sent to all participating miners in the very moment, the block is found and confirmed by the network.
Awesome thank you, I'm generating hashes now, that helps the blockchain right? http://i.imgur.com/ZIKURJU.png
