I will have to look into this further because I tried to mine Steem on a Windows Azure free trial but the blockchain was having a hard time syncing and I never showed up on the witness list. Other people were saying the same thing. It was like 2 days after the last Hardfork. I just figure that I will mine Monero on those free trials but will try this to see if I can get it to work.
A good start here:
working fine on Linux Debian 8, but many other platforms like Ubuntu and others. https://steem.io/documentation/how-to-mine/
