Failed to get Stratum session id

i have not gotten paid after mining for more than 24 hours.

each time i start minerd the it says "Failed to get Stratum session id" and when i check the worker tracker at http://elitter.net:7903/static/ (the pool i have chosen to use) nothing appears.

-a X11 -o stratum+tcp://elitter.net:7903 -O XhsK9zvKwnxdjPbUCrW3W7JBFqKNFZ3DVY:anything -D -t 4

Also same error with other pools, with http:// protocol, and when using -u & -p for username and password also when not defining number of threads. in

You have it set up wrong.
This is what you have:
Code:
-a X11 -o stratum+tcp://elitter.net:7903 -O XhsK9zvKwnxdjPbUCrW3W7JBFqKNFZ3DVY:anything -D -t 4

But really, it should be:
Code:
-a X11 -o stratum+tcp://elitter.net:7903 -u XhsK9zvKwnxdjPbUCrW3W7JBFqKNFZ3DVY -p anything -t 4

as far as i can tell either way should work. also i have tried both ways and they do not which i stated in the OP just before the screenshot.


but thank you for trying to help

Take a special note of using the "u" flag for your username instead of what you have of an "O".
 
also the -D option is for debug which is how i was able to view the error message as i don't believe it was visible before that.
