RE: Getting Started Mining Steem on Windows [Step by Step Guide]

in #steemit8 years ago

No need to redownload the whole blockchain if it gets stuck at some point, it should resume at that point when you restart steemd, make sure you do a clean close with CTRL + C and confirm and not by directly closing the window of the software.

Sort:  

it looks like this now. am i mining now? i restarted the program with CTRLC .

3454622ms th_a witness.cpp:176 plugin_startup ] Launching block production for 1 witnesses.
3454622ms th_a witness.cpp:189 plugin_startup ] Starting mining...
3454623ms th_a witness.cpp:196 plugin_startup ] witness plugin: plugin_startup() end
3454623ms th_a main.cpp:182 main ] Started witness node on a chain with 3456729 blocks.

It should resume downloading the blockchain as you do not yet have synced to latest blocks on the network.

Once it starts mining you should see hashrate displayed and estimated time for mining a block.

If it does not happen after after a bit of waiting you can try running: steemd.exe --resync

yeah ok. i i figured i was not mining yet, as my pc only uses 8% of cpu and 10% of ram now ;)
