I was thinking about making a guide for VMWare Player (because the Ubuntu Server install is automated with VMWare Workstation and its really easy) but arhag dissuaded me because he was working on the Windows build.
I'll whip something up, hope I get upvoted as much as this post :P
Aaaand it's done, 4.5 hours later. https://steemit.com/steem/@pfunk/guide-maximize-your-mining-hashrate-in-windows-by-mining-steem-in-a-vm
Right! :)
Thanks!
I have ubuntu installed now and took screenshots while I was doing it. If you're going to make a guide I can give you links to these images or if not, I may go ahead and write a guide myself (prefer not to since I'm a noob and don't want to screw someone up). However I had no issues doing it, it was easy. Now on to Joseph's guide to get the miner going! :)
Update : Have miner running now, syncing up! Damn that took a while. But at least now I've learned a little something. :)
