Where did you download the miner? Maybe someone hardcoded it when it was compiled to mine for them.

Try one from here: https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/releases

Make sure your batch file is in the same folder as the executable and/or make sure the batch file has the full path to the executable.

It sounds like maybe it is picking up something from a config file. I can't recall what the config file is called for bfgminer, something .conf. See if there is one and either rename it or delete it.

EDIT: I guess alternatively you could also just put your own config in the config file as well...

OK, I found and modified the cf.conf file accordingly.. but it's still coming up with the slushpool.org information. Any help now?
I also thought that maybe I needed to reboot the machine. So, I did that too. Still, that didn't solve it.

Thanks

Hi all,
I'm trying to mine some litecoins with bfgminer. I've downloaded and installed the software, modified my bat file to look like this for my GPU card:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u <> -p <>

However, as soon as I execute this (double-click on it) - it opens up the window to start running it which is great.. bad news is that it's pointing to a slushpool.org site and the userID is also wrong instead of my site? I don't get that? any help here on that? It's version 5.4.2

Thanks
