RE: STEEM Mining for Windows / Linux / Linux VM in Windows

in #steem • 8 years ago

I have a couple of servers I'm running this on, without a LAN setup (no NAT just public IP)
Do I need to remove the witness setup on all but one of them still?

    yes you should not define the witness on more than one steemd.exe instance and please refer to the new update for new miner and few changes:

    Thanks for the help!
    I've made it so I only have one miner with witness.
    I noticed all of them stopped mining it seems, or at least, weren't using CPU(but 5GB of RAM) is that normal? I restarted it after making the changes and they're idling when done loading the blockchain.

      if you see zero cpu usage on the machine which has the witness defined in config.ini; stop the steemd.exe and re-run it. Keep others as it is. if you see on zero cpu usage on all the machines that is strange, but you can try starting them again by running the witness node in the end

        it can be also be the case that steemd.exe has utilized more CPU than what it should, so OS has stopped giving CPU to steemd.exe, to resolve this restart steemd.exe and got to task manager -> details -> right click on steemd.exe -> set priority = low
