It's connecting fine with the first pool. You have 2 blank pools also listed and that's what it can't connect to. Your problem is even bigger though - I don't see you having any mining hardware. Cgminer is controlling software to run mining hardware that's connected to your computer. It's not the computer itself that mines...

trying to get started mining btc but my cgminer prints the same error every time I open it. i think I've made a script error but, as I'm knew and no tech expert, I cannot figure out what it is.

the error I'm receiving reads:

the text written in my cgminer.conf file is:

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://sg.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333",
      "user" : "Fyfebro.worker1",
      "pass" : "e"
   },
   {
      "url" : "",
      "user" : "",
      "pass" : ""
   },
   {
      "url" : "",
      "user" : "",
      "pass" : ""
   }
],

"failover-only" : true,
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"api-allow" : "W:192.168.1.0/24,W:127.0.0.1"
}

and the text written in my start.bat file is:

cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o stratum+tcp://sg.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Fyfebro.worker1 -p * --bmsc-freq 0781


I wasn't sure how to make the .bat file correctly and only found one tutorial telling me to do that, so that could easily be my problem. Thanks for reading and if you could help me out that would be great!  Wink
