Hey Steemers,
I read all the instructions on how to start mining Steem on windows.
So far I am doing it from 20 hours.
I constantly get this into the console so I think I am mining
Got 5 transactions from network on block 4354180
673743ms th_a witness.cpp:433 on_applied_block ] hash rate: 16642 hps target: 26 queue: 90 estimated time to produce: 67 minutes
But where can I see my stats or something. Also where and when will my reward be sent.
Is my rewards going into my STEEM account in form of SP.
I don't have any going in so far. I'm confused please help me and I will upvote you.
You can check your stats at https://steemd.com/@cloudmining
If you find a pow, you will see something like :
The reward will be automatically added to your Steem Power (check your wallet)
Thanks Mate :)
Those messages mean you are mining. Don't expect to find a block anytime soon there is currently a miner using an exploit to give himself a huge advantage over all the others combined. If you look at the witness page you can see all the similar miners are his. https://steemd.com/witnesses
More info about the exploit -> https://steemit.com/steemit/@alphabeta/red-alert-supercomputing-is-back
it makes mining useless, correct? Because you cant 'catch' a block?
It doesn't make mining useless. Blockchain requires mining.
But now, it depends on how you mine.
IF you check posts made on august 24th in steemchat mining channel you will see and interesting discussion :
It looks like nobody (aka supercomputing aka gxt-1080-sc-0024-nnnn succeeded to code a miner using GPU. Give a look at the witness queue and you will see it's dominated by gtx- miners.
If all the above is correct, this means that CPU-mining like you do will be soon inefficient.
Your chance to get a spot in the mining queue will be near zero :(
One more thing. Are you using miner version 12 or version 13.
Where can I find version 13

Damned ! I thought exploit was fixed with hardfork 13.
Again!?!
Shit, I thought we'd put a stop to that.
Oh, I know which miners you speak of.... What a pain!
