You can download the latest blockchain file or start with the Steem docker image but all this won't change the outcome. Only make it apparent earlier that it is a waste of time :)
Out of curiosity. What is your HW configuration? Thanks for the reply!
I'm was using two Intel Core i5-6600K 6M Skylake Quad-Core. Now I'm cpu mining with minergate, and will just buy steem with profit.
Thanks.
Are you getting anything with minergate? I see it tries to predict how much you could make in a year. Would it be enough to cover electricity costs?
I just started yesterday, so after 24 hours of mining I would see a better estimate on a daily profit. I'm currently mining QuazarCoin and merge mining with FantomCoin.
I would love to mine steem but I can't mine for free, I'm already in the red for the two weeks of mining steem. Thanks
