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
