Is there a good explanation on how to start mining on windows somewhere?

Basically just edit the config as instructed here (ignore everything else, just look at setting up config) ...

Then download the blockchain from here ...

Start the miner up, let it crash (most likely) and it will create the folders. Now go unzip the blockchain over the /database folder.

And you should be good to go! Startup steemd.exe and start mining! If you have problems, go into the slack channel and #mining

Thanks fheman! Btw I noticed in your config file below, the "" were missing around the witness name, that might have caused the problem I think.
