Finally Mining Steem!
Well,
I setup a VM running Ubuntu 16.04 to mine Steem, I follow this guide:
https://steemit.com/steem/@pfunk/guide-maximize-your-mining-hashrate-in-windows-by-mining-steem-in-a-vm
I personally use Oracle VirtualBox so that's what I used instead of VMWare.
I originally attempted to use the Windows 64-bit client but it would crash when ever I would set miner-threads in config.ini to anything, Steemd ran as long as the miner-threads was commented out.
So if you plan on mining on Windows I recommend just following the linked guide above.
Let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to help.
how many steem you get in a week?
Can anyone help me? I get the error cannot find boost libraries when I run this command.
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT="$BOOST_ROOT" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
I have environment variables set
export BOOST_ROOT=$HOME/boost_1_60_0
export BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=$HOME/boost_1_60_0
Any help please??

Congrats on getting it to work! I had so much trouble myself at first, haha. :)
Ah thanks, tried on Windows as well couldn't get it to work... hopefully this does the trick..
If you get stuck and need help let me know.
OK thanks!
Anything different that you did that wasn't in pfunks guide?
Alright, so this is what is wrong:
The TAR file contains a directory named witness_node_data_dir so when it's extracted it placed here:
So to fix this just run:
Then download and extract the blockchain:
I think that's the only thing I did different besides VirtualBox.
Yeah, I don't think the block chain extraction path is correct, I will provide details when I get back home.
Congratulations. I had mine up and running but the hard fork killed it. I just got it running again about an hour ago.

Nice, have you appeared on the witness list at all?
Not so far. It's been running steady for about 18 hours.
@steempool
Approaching 36 hrs and I haven't had a chance to solve a block yet.
Ah, good, glad to hear it!
I found 3 on my i7, and one on a server I purchased from Server Mania. My i7 is doing about 20k hps and the server is doing about 14k hps. How many witnesses are you using in your config.ini?
At 20 kH/s how much steem do you mine per month? I haven't been able to find a difficulty chart for Steem, which makes calculating profit hard
I've found 4 blocks so far.
@judeaustin Really? What kind of a setup do you have. I've got a top end Core I7 from about a year back running 3 threads and it has been going for about 48 hrs + now and still nothing. I'm running on Linux though using the instructions from @Joseph - it seems to be working fine though just not getting to mine any blocks.
@judeaustin Sorry should have replied sooner. I got it working after realising I had missed removing one of the # signs in the config.ini next to the number of cores to use. Since then I've found 3 blocks, am getting 32Kh/s - roughly a block a day.
@royaltiffany claims to have mined a POW. Her screenshot shows about 19K hashrate. See https://steemit.com/steemit/@royaltiffany/steemland-an-adventure
