Rejected (Miner is using an incorrect algorithm.)

I keep getting this when running my Antminer U3, I have the config file set up to use scrypt, but I don't know if that is all right.

My Bat File My Config File: What am I doing wrong?

thats a sha256 miner and your trying to use it on scrypt?

I can't seen to figure out what type of miner this is, but all the advertising I see is for a "bitcoin miner," which seems to agree with what JiveTonto said.

We want to get scrypt right before we implement SHA-256. Feel free to connect scrypt miners or to check back in a few months, though!

Code:

start cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:1 -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u Vitrell -p c=litecoin --bmsc-voltage 0755 --bmsc-freq 0882

My Config File:

Code:

{
"pools" : [

                "url" : "stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333",
                "user" : "username",
                "pass" : " "
        }
],

"scrypt" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

What am I doing wrong?

Yes, the Bitmain manufacturer only makes SHA256 mining equipment. I recommend a ZEUS or Gridseed if you wish to mine for Scrypt. Off the top of my head, in terms of a large pool with merge mining for SHA256, would be Ghash.io. Otherwise, the next best option would be to mine for a flavor of the month coin for the purposes of quick trading.

Have you any plans to add Sha-256 support in the near future? This is the predominant miners as most scrypt miners are horribly inneficiant and non profitable (except the incredibly expensive titan). I have 13 Ths of Sha-256 power I would love to use here.

What is or is not profitable depends on what you mine on how.
