I am TOTALLY new and green to this and cannot figure out what "Prohashing" wants from Claymore's software to start mining

I am getting this message when trying to connect
"ETH: Stratum - Connected (prohashing.com:3333)
ETH: Authorization failed
: {"id":2,"result":null,"error":[-3,"Methodnameparsingfailed.You*must*useformat<servicename>.<methodname>,e.g.'example.ping'",null]}
ETH: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec..."

My Claymore's config file looks like this:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool prohashing.com:3333 -ewal MYWALLETADDRESS -eworker MHzTweaker -epsw x

HELP!!!!!

Just so you know, none of the coins here are good for gpu mining. They are only profitable on asic miners. It looks like maybe you are trying to mine ETH, but you can only mine scrypt and X11 coins here. If you did get scrypt mining software for example, you would probably want to delete eworker and epsw. Also, use the username you got when signing up instead of your wallet address for ewal. But, don't do that unless it's just for testing because it wont be profitable.

I'm trying to mine ETH... Someone told me to come here and setup an account and start mining..... It looks like I got some bad advice maybe?

I am so lost at this point!!!
I know I need to dump "MinerGate" I started with last week.... hash rates suck!!!

I just fed my ETH Wallet info into this pool: https://dwarfpool.com/eth via Claymore's miner....
I believe I have success :-)


I don't know why this guy (my neighbor) told me to come here. He knows I am GPU mining. Sorry to have been a bother and thanks for the help
