RE: [UPDATED 7/6] How-To Mine Steem Power in Windows

in #steem8 years ago

Ok, so I am getting the 1 hps and have been running the miner for over an hour now - is that normal or have I done something wrong?

Sort:  

You're either syncing or in the queue.

I guess a better question is.. how long should I expect to sync or queue?

Syncing from scratch can take many hours. If you're in the queue, I'm not really sure how long it takes to get to the top, but you can ask in Slack #mining and someone can probably give you a good estimate.

Worked great thanks man, took a few hours to sink the whole thing, nothing to crazy. The only question I have is, is there a place to see how much SP you've gained from mining separate from what's accumulating already in my account since I used my personal steemit account?

Is there a place to see how much SP you've gained from mining separate from what's accumulating already in my account since I used my personal steemit account?

Not really. You could manually add it up on https://steemd.com/@will-zewe but that sucks.

When you're paid from mining does it show in your history in the wallet section? Also will my https://steemd.com/@will-zewe show mined saying "true" after I've been paid a reward? Its showing false now so I'm assuming that'll change after I actually get a reward? Sorry for the questions, I'm trying to make the answers to the questions either yes or no to save you time I swear :-p lol

I'm getting the same thing. I'm curious to know how long it takes you or what the fix was. I'll let you know as well.

Be certain there is no error message when steemd.exe starts (no red/orange text). Also, my config.ini file was not being parsed, so it loaded the default one, which led to the same issue you are describing here.

Error parsing logging config from config file C:\Users... \config.ini, using default config

fwiw, It seems if i have more than 1 seed-node entry in the config.ini file, it fails to parse and loads the default one.

How long does it take you to go from the 1hps syncing / queuing to actual mining?

There was an error there and the 1 seed-node fixed that problem. Now it hangs at "ntp_delta_time updated to -27739us" and just sits there. Any idea what that is? Upvoted for fixing my first problem =)

OK, the "Error parsing config file...." is actually not an issue, in fact, you kinda need that error message, as it's best to have multiple seed nodes, and having more than 1 in the config file does trip that message. However, it can be safely ignored.
So what i did was add back in the seed nodes listed here, made sure my config file was correct (witness, miner and WIF keys correctly entered) and re-ran steemd after a replay. Took only a few seconds of 1hp until i was mining again.
