I'm getting this weird message:

This pool (us2.ethermine.org) does not support Ethereum addresses as login (or requires worker name in "Login.Worker" format) and cannot be used for devfee mining, therefore it is not supported.

However, you can mine on this pool if you specify "-allpools 1" option, default pools (different from this pool) will be used for devfee.

i figured out the problem. I entered the key incorrectly. Forgot to delete an extra digit, it's working now

I figured it was something about that  Glad you got it worked out  

[Pachuca]

now I have a real question: when it says 

ETH: 06/18/17-20:41:39 - SHARE FOUND - (GPU 0)
ETH: Share accepted (31 ms)!

 

what does this mean? Should I be seeing anything on the stats page?

It means it successfully found a nonce and submitted it as proof of work. The more shares you submit, the more ETH you earn.

ethermine.org. Just put your address into the search bar and go for it.

I think I did something wrong because mine doesn't show anything on the search page.

 

here's the bat file:

 

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal thisismykey.Laptop -eworker Laptop -epsw x -dbg -1

The only thing that showing your address will do is allow people to donate or mine for you.

Are you entering just your address and not the name?

does it take a while for the site to update because I just got 2 shares and i'm still not seeing anything in the dashboard.

Yeah it does. Give it an hour or so.

This raises one more question, would it be possible for me to run 3 gpu's on one board dedicated to mining while using the 4th gpu for gaming and general pc use? Is there an issue with the hardware configuration or the software wouldn't allow it?

There's nothing saying you can't do this but it will likely have stuttering. I've read into this before and people have said games stutter when gaming on one GPU and mining on another.

I know you can set it up like that, and my instinct would be that it would work fine, but apparently not ^^

Wow I just realized you were using EthPool instead of Ethermine. You should definitely use Ethermine instead, it's a better payout scheme for smaller miners.

 

Use this for it

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xa1f714c8fBfD0AdE82A8F22B5E90C5fF538eDBD5.Laptop -epsw x -dbg -1

What OC do you have on your Fury? My fury nitro with an oc (1115 core, -15% power (upping power to even 50 doesnt change), and 85 temp limit) only gets 31.

I realized that also and made the correction from our previous chat
