Mining Help

in #miner-category • 8 years ago (edited)

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

    https://steemit.com/steemhelp/@joseph/mining-steem-for-dummies

    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.
