back up mining pool

Hey,
I'm trying to set up litecoinpool for my back up pool and it says "dead." any advice?

Thanks!

What miner are you using?

Post up your miner's settings...URL, user, password

L3+

stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333/

litoshi1

d=16384 n=carlos

Prohashing^^^

Litecoinpool
stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333
litoshi1
1

sorry newb here

well the d=16384 might be too low of a number, remove the d= setting and try that.

as to the litecoin pool, I think you need to create a worker...like carlos and then add that as a . to the username.
litoshi1.carlos
and then check that the worker carlos as 1 as the password.

Try those 2 settings and see how you do.

HAPPY HASHING!

Thanks I'll give it a try!
