Ethminer: Bad pool example

[ibmua]

Can't get the miner to supply name and email to nanopool. As per https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/blob/master/docs/POOL_EXAMPLES_ETH.md

-P stratum1+tcp://[email protected]:9999/WORKERNAME/EMAIL

-- this example is completely wrong. This is what I'm getting:

ethminer 0.19.0-7+commit.66186f1b.dirty
Build: linux/release/gnu

 i 16:13:14 ethminer Configured pool gmail.com:0
 i 16:13:14 ethminer Selected pool gmail.com:0
 X 16:13:15 ethminer Error  216.58.215.101:0 [ Operation canceled ]
 X 16:13:15 ethminer Error  [2a00:1450:401b:808::2005]:0 [ Network is unreachable ]
 X 16:13:15 ethminer No more IP addresses to try for host: gmail.com
 i 16:13:15 ethminer Disconnected from gmail.com:0
 i 16:13:15 ethminer No connection. Suspend mining ...
 i 16:13:15 ethminer Selected pool gmail.com:0
 X 16:13:16 ethminer Error  216.58.215.101:0 [ Operation canceled ]
 X 16:13:16 ethminer Error  [2a00:1450:401b:808::2005]:0 [ Network is unreachable ]
 X 16:13:16 ethminer No more IP addresses to try for host: gmail.com
 i 16:13:16 ethminer Disconnected from gmail.com:0
 i 16:13:16 ethminer No connection. Suspend mining ...
 i 16:13:16 ethminer Selected pool gmail.com:0
^C i 16:13:17 main     Got interrupt ...
 i 16:13:17 main     Terminated!

So it actually tries to mine on gmail.com because my email address is @gmail.com

Anything you put in the Path part must be Url Encoded thus, for example, @ must be written as %40

Does launch this way, but seems like nanopool doesn't ignores WORKERNAME and EMAIL.

I had the same issue on nanopool (see #2044).

This is the right way to write the URL.
stratum+tcp://0x<address>%2e<worker>%2f<passcode>@eth-<region>.nanopool.org:9999

<address>: Your wallet address.
<worker>: Your worker name.
<passcode>: Passcode or e-mail address (in case of using a e-mail address, you need to use %40 for @).
<region>: Replace this with the region server you want to use (like eu2).

No need to escape anything on Windows, but if you're using Linux (zsh in my case), it seems you need to escape the % with a backslash (that would be \%).

[ibmua]

Cool! Can you provide a mininal example you'd personally use on Linux with email address? That would be even more clear.

[lss4]

I think it would be like this (replace the respective parts of the example with your own values):

ethminer --pool stratum+tcp://0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678\%2eworker1\%2ftest\%40example\%[email protected]:9999

I personally don't need e-mail notifications so I only used a passcode for the e-mail part.

This worked. Thanks!
