I've followed the guide here ( https://steemit.com/miner-category/@clayop/steem-miner-setup-in-ubuntu-15#@pseudonymous/re-clayop-steem-miner-setup-in-ubuntu-15-20160614t021008945z ) and everything seems to have worked fine except for the very last bit:
screen -dmS steemd steemd --miner='["YourWantedID","5YourPrivatekey"]' --witness='"YourWantedID"' --mining-threads=4
YourWantedID needs to be a new name, or can it be @pseudonymous
YourPRivateKey is the "Owner" key under "Permissions", or something else?
Please send halp, somebody!
check this guide

you can use your current steemit id with your owner key, the one that starts with a 5, not STM.
Maybe I am a dumber dummie because I can't get it to work. Went through everything, started the steemd again it says no witnesses configured no miners configured. The config.ini has my name and my owner key...
Did ./steemd --rpc-endpoint
it says
3375144ms th_a main.cpp:119 main ] Error parsing logging config from config file /home/ubuntwo/steem/programs/steemd/witness_node_data_dir/config.ini, using default config
and at the end
901659ms th_a witness.cpp:189 plugin_startup ] Starting mining...
901659ms th_a witness.cpp:196 plugin_startup ] witness plugin: plugin_startup() end
901660ms th_a main.cpp:182 main ] Started witness node on a chain with 0 blocks.
Then it just.. does nothing that I can see.
