Don't use cgminer, use the GPU miner provided by 1gh ptspool

been mining a couple months, never seen this before. I know it takes a while to get a payout, what I'm saying is my hashrate does not change from 0 after 1/2 hour.
Here is my batch file

timeout /t 30
setx DISPLAY=:0
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 -w 256 -o stratum+tcp://ptspool.1gh.com:13333 -u PjK2JDUjFD5Eu6DBGvt8MJ7nWJc3zVRtvi -p x

Cgminer starts up fine and all gpus start hashing as normal, but in the activity window it just says:

started cgminer 3.7.2
probing for an alive pool
Pool 0 difficulty changed to 0.00000
Network diff set to 17.2M

That's all it does, no gpus are given work. I've tried all the other stratum ports same thing.

I don't know how ptspool.1gh.com does things, but Protoshares (/BitShares PTS) is not a scrypt algorithm coin.  It uses the momentum algortihm.  Last I checked cgminer did not implement this and a custom GPU miner (many examples here) was needed.

How long have you been mining, you need at least 6 hours in ptspool to see the payout. And do you have "share found" in you miner?

Hi, I set my bat file to stratum://ptspool.1gh.com:13333 my crypsy payout add and x for my password.
Cgminer starts fine and gpus go to full hashrate, but no hashrate is showing when I search my payout address and cgminer activity just shows the pool difficulty info, no gpu work is accepted. Please advise
