RE: Getting Started Mining Steem on Windows [Step by Step Guide]
No witnesses configured! Please add witness names and private keys to configuration.
No miners configured! Please add miner names and private keys to configuration.
if i delete the # the app starts for a second and crashes.
any solution for that problem?
I was having similar issues and fixed it. This could be the cause.
You need to remove the # for only the specified line but you also need to keep the quotes around the miner name.
Try making it look like this:
'# name of witness controlled by this node (e.g. initwitness )
witness = "madsquirrel"
'# name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
miner = ["madsquirrel","WIFShouldStartWithA5"]
**don't keep the ' in the example above. Had to add the ' to not change the font from '#'.
Another issue could be that you selected the wrong WIF:
Login, select permissions. The correct WIF is the ACTIVE WIF but you need to login before you get it. It starts with a '5'.
that got me finaly going - didn't realized that I had to klick on the right side :D
Thanks a lot!
Man, it doesn't work for me. Can you please paste your config file here. I am becoming crazy! :(
Did you follow the guide step by step?
It crashes as steemd.exe stopped working or gives you an error message?
yes i followed everything in the tutorial.
please check if this line is correct. the moment i delete the # the program crashes. if
so i started now the program through command prompt and the following error is displayed
image free hosting
Did you also remove the # from the line above the witness setting?
ok figured the ] was missing ! ok. thanks for the help. damn i hate crypto mining. i was running some btc asics miners, and the problems where always so annoying ;)
i tried both. if i leave the # in the line above the error above appears. if i remove that # above too, it says starthing SteemD and than it crashes...
i am not running it in a virtual machine, is a VM necessary?
You need to remove the # sign (used for quoting the specified line) only in front of the lines in the config with the parameters you set, it seems there is a problem with your witness account in the config.
Can you please upload and post a link to your config.ini file with the WIF key removed, so I can check what is wrong with it?
It seems that the problem with the config file is not with the witness, but with the miner line below it...
You need to add the [ and ] for the miner settings, take a look at that step of the guide again.
you need a valid list of P2P nodes. please visit https://status.steemnodes.com/ (tab config.ini format) for a valid list of P2P nodes
