I'm wondering if my 12khps is enough power to mine any STEEM at this point ?
After 3 days of constant mining I got nothing ...
the blockchain is synced ... I get correct hash rate values ... but nothing gets mined ;(
estimated time to produce varies from 300 to 700 minutes but never gets lower ...
UPDATE:
I feel really stupid but the problem was that I didn't have the signing key in my config.ini ;D
I found my first POW within 7 minutes ;)
I'm mining with ~20khps and get a couple of blocks per day.
Check your logfiles, it should say "Broadcasting Proof of Work for " every once in a while.
Unfortunatelly I've just noticed that I don't have the logs/ directory in my witness_node_data_dir/ and I get main.cpp:119 error saying that "Error parsing logging config from config file ..., using default config" when I start steemd ...
That error is a known bug. It happens when you have multiple lines with the same keyword in the config file, like multiple "witness" entries.
Just ignore that error and redirect standard output + standard error to a logfile.
I'll try rebuilding steemd and check if at least that logging error will be resolved ...
What's signing key? in confing.ini i don't see this option.
it's under private-key in config.ini ...
I've turned on mining a few times, for a few days at a time. I'm only at 6khps. I have not mined anything yet, but was fun trying! Maybe I'll give it another go if you get blocks, @murh Good Luck!
UPDATE: I think my problem was in my router settings blocking some p2p connections ... I'll check it when I'm finished updating blockchain which after a power outage today got messed up somehow ... I'm starting to think it's some kind of curse ;) never had some much trouble with setting up mining
is steem mining still active ? some1 told me that there is no more steem mining now ? is it correct
