In step 5, it says:
Step 5
- Unzip the contents of steemblockchain5-28-2016.zip into the following folder ...
steem-v0-5-0-windows\witness_node_data_dir\blockchain
What is the full path for the steem-v0-5-0-windows folder? I've ran the steemd.exe file, it seems to crash, but i can't locate the folders it was supposed to create..?
Try the other miner and see if it works for you. When you start steemd.exe for the first time it should create all folders.
The blockchain file used was updated and I forgot to update Step 5, thanks for letting me know. Uncompress the blockchain into this folder overwriting any existing files.
witness_node_data_dir\blockchain\database\block_num_to_block
