Check that you don't have duplicate lines in your config.

Would you have an example config.ini file by chance, @throwawayaccount? My thought is that perhaps the 2 year old example used by me had something missing, which a more up to date version may have?

Found a WIF Key generator and steemd seems to like the private one generated at:

https://bitaddress.org

Seems to be chuggin now....

You should get your WIF key from here: https://steemit.com/@novacadian/permissions click on Show key. I followed these two guides, see if they help.
https://steemit.com/steem/@geoffrey/steem-mining-comprehensive-guide
https://steemit.com/miner-category/@clayop/steem-miner-setup-in-ubuntu-15

If you have trouble with your config file then put it on pastebin and post the link here in the comments and I'll try help. (Just remember to take out any sensitive data before posting your config). I hope that helps.

Thanks @throwawayaccount! Will be free to have a look at those links in a couple of days. ✌💛

Ok, next impass.....

Started witness node on a chain with 0 blocks.

Researching....

From what I understand you are supposed to download the blockchain from a location as it will be faster than running your node and hoping it catches up. The default location to download a copy of the present blockchain used to be: http://www.steemitup.eu/witness_node_data_dir.tar.gz but the domain seems to have been sold. See if you can find the file on google or ask around on discord. Let me know how things progress and I'll try help. :)
