Setup STEEM wallet and start mining step by step guide
It is recomended that you have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or a later version.
Open a terminal window and enter these lines one by one, give each one time to finish:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git cmake g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev build-essential libbz2-dev libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libncurses5-dev doxygen libreadline-dev dh-autoreconf
wget -O boost_1_60_0.tar.gz http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.gz/download
tar xzvf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_60_0
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local
./b2 install
cd
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1
cd secp256k1
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
./tests
cd
git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem
cd steem
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_CONTENT_PATCHING=OFF -DLOW_MEMORY_NODE=ON
make
cd programs/steemd
./steemd --rpc-endpoint --seed-node="seed.steemed.net:2001" --seed-node="52.74.152.79:2001"
start a new terminal window and type:
cd steem/programs/cli_wallet
./cli_wallet
set_password "PASSWORD"
unlock "PASSWORD"
suggest_brain_key
- copy the output and save it in a secure location:
- you should never give your wif private key to anyone.
`{
"brain_priv_key": "FULK DEBUG EARTH IMAGINE BABBLE POPIFY PREFEED EMBIND FOREPAW KAHILI ...",
"wif_priv_key": "5JsPmgU1dfKu8SHWAWkBKw1XGz97Kwz4DLwgm2bSz99qtFqTAkp",
"pub_key": "STM73jgNRFLTKSTaGWv8QfXzSopUZBsQGmrECWPvpnemjyAcBfzAc"
}`
you will need your wif private key for the config.ini file in a minute,
this is a good time to load YOUR key in your cli_wallet terminal window like this:
import_key 5JsPmgU1dfKu8SHWAWkBKw1XGz97Kwz4DLwgm2bSz99qtFqTAkp
now exit your cli_wallet terminal:
ctrl + c
This is a good time to pick your account/miner name
** Account names must be all lower case, less than 15 characters, and start with a letter
lets say you pick account name george1234
you must check if the account already exists, go to:
https://steemit.com/@george1234
if you get an error like this:
Server error (500) 10 assert_exception: Assert Exception itr != accounts_by_name.end(): Unable to find account 'george1234'. Did you forget to add a record for it? {"acct":"george1234"} th_a database.cpp:313 get_account
then you are in luck and the account name is available to claim, if not try another until you get this error.
now you have what you need to edit your config.ini file and start mining.
with your favorite text editor open the file steem/programs/steemd/witness_node_data_dir/config.ini
replace george1234 with your account name and this wif key 5JsPmgU1dfKu8SHWAWkBKw1XGz97Kwz4DLwgm2bSz99qtFqTAkp with yours.
# P2P nodes to connect to on startup (may specify multiple times)

seed-node = 52.74.152.79:2001
seed-node = 45.32.186.90:1779
seed-node = 45.32.186.90:1781
seed-node = 192.99.4.226:2001

seed-node = 52.4.250.181:39705
seed-node = 85.214.65.220:2001
# name of witness controlled by this node (e.g. initwitness )
witness = "george1234"
# name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
miner = ["george1234","5JsPmgU1dfKu8SHWAWkBKw1XGz97Kwz4DLwgm2bSz99qtFqTAkp"]
# Number of threads to use for proof of work mining
mining-threads = 2
these are the parts you change, leave the rest as is and save your config file
go back to the steemd terminal window (hopefully it synced by now):
ctrl+c
to stop steemd and restart it with the following line:
./steemd --rpc-endpoint
it should start mining as soon as it catches up to the latest block.
- after mining your first block, you set claim to your account name
when that happens here is a few things you can do in your CLI_wallet (change george1234 to your account name):
unlocked >>> get_account "george1234"
unlocked >>> list_my_accounts
unlocked >>> vote_for_witness george1234 joseph true true
unlocked >>> vote george1234 "joseph" "mining-steem-for-dummies" 100 true

Thank you.
For future visitors hoping to get mining - This guide wont work anymore sorry
(prompted by this comment , upvoted for visibility)
Hi @ausbitbank, you are the only witness I have voted for so far. Just saying hi. Also, thank you, you are my best voter. Further, I would highly appreciate an indication of how Steem is mined since you have indicated this post no longer works.
Thanks for your support :)
Steem is no longer mined through traditional proof of work mining for a few hardforks now.
Block production is now handled by DPOS witnesses and rewards are split between authors, curators and witnesses. You can see the breakdown on where new steem goes on the front of steemdb.com
Very helpful thank you. I was about to look into mining steem since I didnt realize you could do that at all. Then I read your post and you saved me a bunch f wasted time. thank you.
Oh, that sucks. So the only remaining account methods are by proxy with third parties and through cli with your own account? That's a bit sad.
super, thanks for heads up
So how do I set up a wallet and start witnessing, are there a set of current instructions I can follow. What sort of results are people getting that are already witnessing?
Yes, instructions exist but if you can't do basic research I don't think you should be a witness.
I have been and i keep finding old stuff. But thanks for the help.
Thanks @joseph, it works. But my rate is 1 hps and estimated time to produce about 17 mln minutes.
My CPU is i7-6700K Skylake. So I doubt that 1 hps is normal. What do I do wrong?
you did not do anything wrong, 1hps means you are syncing, once synced your real hps will show.
Mine is up and running but my estimated time to produce is anywhere from 400 to 3000 minutes it seems like.... Hashrate around 13k. It keeps telling me I am getting 3, 5, etc. transactions. Sorry if this is totally ignorant but this is my first time attempting anything like this. Is this working properly? I have an i7 920 desktop, 12gb ram devoted, created 8 accounts - was that too much?
syncing! wait..
How long would it take to sync ?
Do syncing and mining processes need to be separated (when i try to mine before syncing is done, nothing happens)
thanks you,help me back

I upgrade and it OK now :-)
Note for anyone who found this guide on Google:
PoW Mining was removed from Steemit with hard fork 18. Any guides for mining Steem are thus out of date.
Does this mean there is no way to mine steem now? Or just that these instructions won't work?
There's no way to PoW mine now, it's all PoS witnessing
How do I pos witness? I'm still fairly new just so you know! :)
I have to correct myself, PoDS - Proof of Delegated Stake. That means your "rank" in the witness list is dependent on witness votes from other users. These votes are stake weighted, and stake here is Steem Power. You can find more about these concepts in the FAQs and various links on steemit.com help area.
Here's two good witness guides that will get you most of the way
steemit.com/witness-category/@krnel/complete-witness-installation-guide
steemit.com/witness-category/@klye/the-complete-noob-guide-to-steem-witness-setup
You should also join steemit.chat channel #witness and seek advice there.
In terms of server hosting, @someguy123 apparently has a service specifically aimed at witnesses that several use, check out his post on Privex. @l0k1 always says don't use your private keys on a server which you don't control - I agree. Be careful with them.
Good luck!
A good beginner guide!
A few comments:
Perhaps you can mention what are the hardware needed for mining and how much disk space needed.
How do know or check if the blockchain is synced.
the steem blockchain is already at 8xx Mb in size. So best bet is get a 32 or bigger SD card for your RPI or 2 TB hard disks.
If this is supposed to be for dummies, I'd fatten it up with a bit more explanation?
Well there is dumb and dumber, any dumber than this and I would suggest the facebook approach.
Register a steemit account and make some posts, Steemit by design pays a lot more for content than mining.
You might want to add a
sudoto the front of all your install options for those who aren't logged in as root while performing the install. Great guide.Yes. At least here
I got my miner finally running. I'm using Qubes OS, which doesn't have Ubuntu templates, so I made it in Debian 8.
Had to do a few tricks in addition to this guide:
For Boost:
sudo ./b2 installOtherwise it doesn't have rights to copy the files.
Before Steem cmake install package pkgconf
sudo apt-get install pkgconfthen runpkgconf opensslin the terminal. Otherwise cmake doesn't find openssl.I need to uninstall Boost, because I keep getting this:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<std::logic_error> >'I tried both
sudo ./b2 uninstallandsudo ./b2 removeshould I be doing some kind of
unmakewish the site had a way to bookmark or favorite a post so that I can refer to it later when I have time to follow the instructions
If you're using Digital Ocean and you're seeing messages like:
g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)Here's a simple fix:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000sudo mkswap /var/swap.imgsudo swapon /var/swap.imgTrying to build on a Raspberry Pi 3, got to
makewhen:I have had that error multiple times, I was told it's a linking issue. I am not familiar with raspberry pie, never owned one. But for that error I would suggest to double check your boost installation.
try this instead in boost section:
sudo ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local
sudo ./b2 install
It does appear to have been the boost install. I probably didn't
sudothose in the first attempt.Update: Nope, I got the same build error, eventually. I'll keep poking at it.
Update: I got it to compile on my Raspberry Pi by adding swap:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=2000sudo mkswap /var/swap.imgsudo swapon /var/swap.imgHow to mine steem using free trial in Google Cloud
https://steemit.com/mining/@jooni22/how-to-free-miming-steem-on-google-cloud-for-beginner
will not work, they limit free trial to 1 core, which is pretty much a waste of time.
WARNING! This guide doesn't work anymore.
Mining is removed from HF 18.
As @jensm85 commented, please take a look at
https://steemit.com/faq.html#Can_I_mine_STEEM
I'm leaving this comment because I also spent 3 days to setup a mining machine with this guide and figured out that doesn't work anymore.
excellent beginner guide!
thanks!
Can We mine running Ubuntu in Windows? Does anyone know how to run Ubuntu in Windows?
Yes. get VM ware. Virtual Box, download Ubuntu
Cool, Thanks a lot.
Its working for me - running these steps on Ubuntu 16 running on windows 10 hyper V - yeay!
Awesome!
For how long will POW mining continue?
Typing info in the Cli_wallet will give important information
unlocked >>> info
we look for these two lines
"head_block_num": xxxxxxx, "head_block_age": "xx seconds old",on a synced wallet head_block_age should be a couple of seconds old.
I have mined STEEM on a few machines including a 6 year old laptop.
I am not sure about hardware requirements, the issue never posed a problem for me and I never asked.
I will try to get that info. or maybe someone who knows can reply here.
As far as POW mining is concerned it will run indefinitely, and reward miners with VESTS.
This gives me a little hope .. thank you. Gonna set this up on my *nix box right now.
Please tell about mining on a few machines. I need to create a new accounts for each machine or may use same config.ini with one witness\miner name?
It says my head block age is 26 days old
Forever...
STEEM network blocks are produced by 5% computational POW and 95% DPOS-style voting of VESTING stakeholders.
Wow, I was not aware of that. I'm assuming there is no way to mine in Windows just yet, is that correct?
I am sure when windows wallet version is released, it's not hard to include a cpu miner.
All mining is currently done on Linux
You can also mine on Mac OS X as I do.
Everyone should use linux :-)
linux is the best
Hi,
Can I get some info on how to mine with Mac OS X. There was a post with using some coding from Homebrew - "Mining steem on a Mac" but it doesn't work for me. I'm not such an expert. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!
I use Vagrant to spin up an Ubuntu box in VirtualBox. Maybe I should do a writeup.
run a virtual linux server with an ubuntu image and then follow linux instructions
Try this:

thanks a lot for your tutorial !!!!
Very good!
Any guide to mine on cloud mining?
Is it possible to mine Steem on Windows PC? If yes, please let me know the link to that article.
Here is a link to @pfunk's guide to mining in Windows using a vm window. I had very good results using this guide.
yes you can mine on windows. here is the windows client:
https://github.com/arhag/steem/releases/tag/v0.5.0
However, @arhag will update this after Tuesday to 0.8.1 since we have a new fork coming up.
I joined steemit with very little knowledge about cryptocurrency. I knew a bit about bitcoin and had a few dollars in some wallet but I didn't know about mining and still don't but steem is making me inspired to learn more. I am pretty intimidated by the whole prospect. But thanks for this! :)
I restarted steemd with ./steemd --rpc-endpoint but it just syncs and doesn't mine?
I´m confused about the mining wallet.
Can I mine straight to my Steem-account?? Or can I transfer the mined steem to my account?
I am mining in Windows with my CPU. Where do the Steem that i mine go?
I have a file in the folder which name is cli_wallet.
Do the Steems that i mine go to my wallet of Steemit.com?
Good question. Where we can check the balance?
There's no public key given to your mining wallet that you can see? Or nothing on your cmd window displaying mined STEEM?

Maybe a little late to help you, but for others with similar issues, if you get a "xxx: not found" error, it usually means the xxx is missing. In this case, try allso installing autoconf (the autoconf manual states autoreconf runs autoconf). In Maybe this works:

what resources I will need on VPS ?
CPU!!! lots of it, i am running mine on UBUNTU 15 dual xenon. Not sure a vps will return much if its not a decent chunk of the resources available.
nevermind smooth helped me.
If you need help with Windows mining, check out this topic ...

I'm getting 3k hps and I've been running for about 48 hours and no block. I'm I doing something wrong will there be a pool maybe?
STEEM does not favor pool mining because of the need of your private key.
I have an old laptop that mines STEEM on 1 core and provides less than 1k hps,
I do get a block every other day, sometimes longer. On my 8 core cpu I use only 4 cores
with 20k hps and get a few blocks a day. The 20k hps generates about 2.0 to 3.0 Steem a day
on average, but since it's in steem power it also starts generating more steem daily just by holding it.
Steem is really promising in the fact it's a first of it's kind social media network based on the blockchain.
If one day Steemit gets 5% of twitter or facebook reach, you will be in a great shape holding the steem power you mined.
Thanks Joseph. I had a block show up overnight.
The config.ini file indicates that this is required, but I didn't see it mentioned in the instructions:
# RPC endpoint of a trusted validating node (required) # trusted-node =not required, just fill the parts mentioned in the guide.
when entering this line
tar xzvf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
getting

What should I do wrong?
Something wrong with the link/sourceforge in the previous step, the file is meant to be 75-85MB big not 200k. Google for " boost_1_60_0.tar.gz " and download it from a mirror and place in the same folder as the guide expects it.
thanks. I downloaded again. Now, everything fine.
Same issue, apparently sourceforge was down for a while, but all is well now!

What should I do after this?
How can I start mining? Or this process will start automatically ?
Where can I see how mining is going on?
you are not done syncing, when done it should start mining.
I started my miner and it's running at 1hps. I assume based on the comments that it needs sync. My wallet is not seeing my account. Does it need to completely sync before seeing my account?

your account is created when you mine your first block, however, since you already have an account on steemit, you can use the private key for this account to also mine with. you can find your private key in the permissions link on top right of steemeit website under your account icon.
When I go to permissions I see public keys but no private key. I see PUBLIC POSTING KEY, PUBLIC ACTIVE KEY, PUBLIC OWNER KEY, and PUBLIC MEMO KEY.
Click show on the right of the public keys to show private keys. Use the active private key to mine
Thanks!

how will I know when it stars mining ?
how can I see balances and on what phrase is the process of mining?
did you figure this out? =)
if it freezes at that part restart steemd with --replay-blockchain
is it worth mining steem on a shitty laptop??
can i use the same account for mining and for posting
you can you use same account for both, however, steemd ram requirements are increasing, so not sure a shitty laptop will do anymore, you can try.
Question: When there is a hard fork and we have to update, do we need to re-clone and re-make all, or is there a more efficient way?
Answer: It looks like this is the only way, here is a post to help speed things up though https://steemit.com/steemhelp/@gregory-f/clueless-user-s-guide-to-upgrading-to-steemd-0-8-x
>>> cd steem
>>> git pull;git submodule update; make
Hi Joseph! can you update this guide or make new one?
I need guide for dummie to mine steem on VPS
there is already a guide to mine on VPS.
not sure mining on VPS is still profitable though.
I would just like to thank @joseph for all the hard work he put into making this guide as simple as possible. Truly, I really appreciate it.
I had attempted to use @pfunk's guide to installing Steemd on windows, but I always had issues. I ditched it, picked up a HDD, installed Ubuntu, plugged in the Sata cables and started off this guide. Now, my steem POW miner is currently syncing with the blockchain, and truly...
I appreciate the effort put into this post.
Thanks.
you are welcome Sir.
Thanks for this guide. But if i have more than one mining rigs is it safe to use exactly the same config in each of these? I read somewhere that i must use ONLY one witness name! is that valid?
use different miners / witnessess on each machine
thanks! this helped me get set up and i found my first POW! https://steemd.com/@sigma6m1 I sent you some steem as a thank you.
Just one question if you don't mind... so my miner has to sit out after he finds the pow until it gets verified... can i just create more miners, then put more miner= lines in the config file to cycle through multiple miners while im waiting
create 3 or 4 miners in the same config, so when one is on the queue the others will sill mine.
4 is very safe to keep your miners up 24/7
And thank you for the nice gesture. Appreciated.
Hi, good morning... two days running steemd......
1338525ms th_a witness.cpp:426 on_applied_block ] hash rate: 18065 hps target: 30 queue: 106 estimated time to produce: 990 minutes
1338526ms th_a application.cpp:439 handle_block ] Got 5 transactions from network on block 3504327
17-18 Khps and nothing....is normal ? I thinking go back with monero (XMR) :(
i got my first POW in like 3 hours with like 16khps ... i think i got lucky as hell tho.
48 hours, and nothing :( I don't like it ....
mmm I'm checking steemstats.com, and i see this....
Mining Information
POW blocks that the watched accounts have found.
Account Activity

a day ago Found a block
But can't see in my cli wallet, somebody knows why?
You mean you can't see the history of getting the POW reward? it doesnt show in your wallett history, i dont think...
https://steemit.com/@sigma6m1/transfers
i think it just gives you the SP reward... for example that one above is my miner. no history in his wallett
steemd shows mining rewards
One more question... my hashrate is pretty steady around 15khps, but the estimated time to produce seems to vary wildly... from 600 minutes all the way up to 5000... is this normal... how many pow do you expect per day per khps
that's normal to vary, look at pow found average over three days on steemd.com
I followed all your instructions and set up a miner on Digital Ocean. It worked perfectly after I allocated more memory to the droplet. I appreciate the effort you made to put together this guide. I wrote a post about my experience here https://steemit.com/mining/@masterinvestor/my-steem-engine-miner-experience.
you are welcome Sir.
