I have been trying to mining Steem for the last five days without success.
I had downloaded all the necessary file, include the latest blockchain.
But, I kept getting this error:
It turns out the problems was on the config file.
It needs to add a checkpoint.
checkpoint = [2931839 , "002cbc7f53cd19156412ac078ae8879114d92526"]
After that, start up Steemd.exe, it starts to sync... waited for a while.
Hurray, success! It is mining.
Have not found a block yet, sure I am excited to see my miner is mining. Yay!
Currently, I am using the latest window binaries from @bitcube

Why did you quote the word "experience"? @bjones
Found a block! Yay!
