Just to confirm it's working as stated with multipool, my issue was I downloaded the 64 bit version of BFGminer (duh) and it only works with x32. I'll quote my post in the multipool thread here incase anyone else wants the exact code, but it's pretty much identical to the OPs:

I've finally got my ASICMiner cube up and running with BFGminer and multipool using the following code in a .bat

Code:

bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool1.eu.multipool.us:8888 -u sytherz.1 -p x --http-port 8332

However I seem to be getting different hash rates in

a) the profit snapshot top left of multipool (at 32gh/s as it should be with my cube overclocked)
b) the worker hashrate (1min and 10 min)
c) my cubes config panel
d) BFGMiner (pics below)

Which one should I trust the most for an accurate value? At the moment I've no real idea how much hashing power I'm putting into the pool as different parts are saying different things ... only been connected about an hour or so and am new to BFGminer and my cubes config.

a)

b)

c)

d)

Ok, I found a complete solution for any altcoin (sha-256) pool:

Don't use mining_proxy.exe, use bfgminer instead.

A quick guide for Windows:

1. Download bfgminer (32-bit version!) from http://bfgminer.org/ - I use 3.8.0 32-bit

2. Resolve the IP of your PC - open the command line (start -> cmd), type ipconfig /all. Look for IPv4 address. It should be something like this: 192.168.1.xx

3. Enter your IP address (192.168.1.xx) in Cube setup screen as "pool addresses"

Example with 192.168.1.100 - this is my address:

4. Start bfgminer with the following settings:

bfgminer.exe -o stratum_pool_address:stratum_port -u username -p password --http-port 8080

http-port must be the same as "pool ports" in Cube setup!

Here is my example for mining DEM at coinex.pw:

bfgminer.exe -o stratum.coinex.pw:9031 -u adam1.1 -p 1 --http-port 8080

It works with any sha-256 coin pool.
Good luck!

So, do you have to connect the cube to the computer in this case? My cube is currently connected to the router.
Can someone please explain exact steps needed. It's been a long time since I mined.

Try this: -gp 8332 must be the same as pool port settings in cube setup. You have 8330 on your screenshot.

I've failed miserably with my cube and multipool (my usual mining pool) as these posts attest.

And now i'm here after the relatives have left on xmas day ( Cheesy

[tbh most are here just passed out]) trying to find a way to get this cube to work ...

Currently trying the stratum proxy exe given from slushs pool to work for my BTCguild profile with the .bat file

Code:

mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -gp 8332

With my cube details set to

Why the error anyone?

Have you tried globe.suprnova.cc ? its a GLB pool, would be interesting if it works with proxy

Mining proxy is not working here...

I've been trying to find all altcoin pools working smoothly with Asicminer CUBE miner. So far I tested PPC pool https://ppcoin.d7.lt/ with getwork address (getwork.d7.lt:8080) - it works properly without stratum proxy.

Coinotron.com works fine with stratum proxy (mining_proxy.exe) for all coins (PPC, TRC, FRC).

Unfortunately I was unable to mine at p2pool.org and coinex.pw with stratum proxy (mining_proxy.exe from http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto). The problem is on the proxy side, this software can't work with these pools for unknown reason.

Any others?
