using cpu miner

What hardware are you using to connect in?
What is the pool URL, and password you are submitting.
Did you spell the username same as yours when you made it, same case-sensitive spelling?

HP Pavilion p7-1019
minerd.exe -o proxy.prohashing.com:443 -u metrocore.metrocore -p testing

drop the .metacore

minerd.exe -o proxy.prohashing.com:443 -u metrocore -p n=worker1

so would I post the password after -p?
Do i rename worker1?

There is no PASSWORD for the miner, there is a password for the site to log in to see the miner.
The PASSWORD you feed for the miner is the stuff in the link above.

Instead of creating a worker and naming the username....Metrocore.worker1
you just use the username for the account, Metrocore.
and for the password you tell it what it is n=miner1
the n is Name, miner1 is just the name i picked.

You can add other things to the password list more information and some examples as well as how to tune your rigs may be found in the link above.

this is what i put in but i still get empty replies

Not sure Minerd works with prohashing site.

Maybe ask in the chat channel others may have more luck if its even possible.
If arent doing GPU or ASIC mining I can tell you its not with the electricity to run them.
CPU hashing isnt profitiable and hasnt been for some time.
GPU hashing is only protiable on a few coins
and anymore ASICS arent that profitable now either.

Good luck!
