nice post. after changing to: enable-plugin = witness, do you need to delete existing downloaded blockchain and restart from scratch or can you continue where you left off before the config modification?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
You should be able to continue where you left off, just ctrl+c to make a clean exit if it is currently running, then make the change to the config, then restart with steemd --replay-blockchain
Let me know how that goes for you...
thanks for responding. ok tried exactly what you mentioned but still pretty much stuck around 3.56mio block slow moving. perhaps it's the current state of the blockchain or something i've not done right. will wait for another 24 hours to see before throwing in the towel
I am sorry to hear it has not helped your particular situation.
What is your current download speed (can you do a speed test and report back?), CPU, RAM specs?
It definitely 100% helped my issue removing that 'account_history' parameter from the config file. You are definitely using a custom config file etc (sorry, just asking the typical troubleshooting questions)?
Also, did you try DL the blockchain first from e.g http://www.steemitup.eu/ as per: http://steemit.com/steem/@r3b37/steem-mining-for-windows-update-1
