RE: Getting Started Mining Steem on Windows [Step by Step Guide]
I just checked and it looks like I found a POW 13 hours ago. I checked the list and don't see myself on the miner-witness queue, nor do I see any extra STEEM POWER in my account.
I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong.....or if I'm just not understanding this yet (I'm used to mining crypto-currencies).
When you find a POW mining you get included at the back of the witness-miner list, then climb to the top spot and then you should witness a block creation and get a reward. This moves you out of the witness-miner queue and you start mining again in order to get included once more in the list. It should normally take between 1 and 2 hours to move to the top spot in the list.
Sometimes when your turn comes you may not successfully do your job as a witness in the short timeframe you are being given and you get not reward, should not happen very often, but can still happen.
