Here is a link to a working config for everyone. Change nothing except your account name and WIF key. If the miner crashes, try generating a key from bitaddress.org like pfunk suggests. Don't use the private key from your account, it just crashes the miner (at least it did for me)
Edit: Oh and on a skylake i5 I'm getting about 30khash
What frequency is the i5 running at? And is 30K accurate to within 100 hps? I'd like to get an accurate idea of Windows mining efficiency.
The i5 is running at 3.9GHz, 4 threads.
The range for khash is between 20k and 31k, probably depending on my usage of the processor outside the miner
Additionally - how do I see the transactions going to my wallet? I have no idea how to tell if this is even mining to my account
In reply to your comment below (can't reply more than 6 deep), you can check http://steemd.com/@sonarous for "sonarous found a pow." Solving PoW puts you in the mining queue but it hasn't rewarded you yet. You have to keep your node running while your account is in queue. Steemd.com doesn't explicitly say if you've actually generated the block but you can keep a close eye on your VESTS balance with cli_wallet.exe.
There could be some kind of console monitoring program for Windows that you could use to log every time the word "generated" and phrase "proof of work" is output, but I don't know of one.
Here's what the console says when you enter the queue
th_a witness.cpp:504 operator() ] Broadcasting Proof of Work for pfunkAnd when you generate the block and leave the queue
th_a witness.cpp:256 block_production_loo ] Generated block #XXXXXX with timestamp 2016-05-29TXX:XX:XX at time 2016-05-29TXX:XX:XX by pfunkIf cli-wallet is crashing and nothing is showing up under finding pow is something still not working?
Thank you!
