Point your miner toward prohashing.com:3333.
Use the same username as you use to log into the website.
Enter a blank password or use password arguments, which enable powerful features for controlling miners and mined coins.
Port 443 proxy server also available at proxy.prohashing.com:443 if your hosting provider blocks port 3333.



where the heck do this get done in?? what am i missing and what is the deal??

Mhyde71, don't know if I can be of much help (only been tinkering for a week myself) but what kind of mining rig are you using. I'm running a slug of an AntRouter R1 and these settings you're referring to are in the "minner settings" tab of the router interface. Possibly if you list your equipment someone will be able to point you to the correct screen... Hope you get it up and running soon so you can make some coin!

Yes, what is the make, model of the miner you are using? What, if any software did you download and are using? We really can't help without knowing this information. I understand that learning to mine is a tedious process sometimes (searching through forums to find the right answers can be time consuming, especially if you don't know what to ask.)

Provide the above and I would be happy to guide you.

Easiest way to start is with Nicehash. Download this program and you're mining. https://www.nicehash.com/cpu-gpu-mining
