Thanks for visiting us. You are trying to mine Ethereum with us, but we are a scrypt pool that pays in Ethereum (among other currencies); we don't actually mine the Ethereum algorithm. You would have to configure your GPUs to use scrypt to connect to this pool, but honestly, if you're using GPUs, you should use them to directly mine Ethereum at another pool right now because it will be much more profitable than scrypt.

Thanks for that info.

In your opinion what pool would you recommend for ethereum.

Something like what you got going on here. I really like your dashboard and stats.
