RE: Comprehensive and Updated Guide to Mining Steem (For Both Windows and Linux Users) - One-stop-shop for all your information needs!
The loss of hash power could possibly have been due to lack of space on the VM, though it did appear to have enough space, a low space warning was given when exiting. I increased the VM size to 30GB, up from 20GB. Have re-run mining of Steemit, and has maintained a consistent 35000ish/hps for over 2 hours.
Though is there a way to stop the mining and then restart it without just closing the Terminal window? As this always causes a replaying of the Blockchain when I restart it, which is a pretty slow process.
you can press ctrl-c to stop the miner. you can then just run ./steemd again to restart it. As for the space, i noticed 30GB is better for a VM arrangement. At 20GB I also run out of space
did you mean "./steemd"? ... "./steemit" isn't recognised, and to my knowledge there isn't anything named steemit.
./steemd doesn't work any better, as it just loads up and then replays the blockchain, percent by percent and lists the hard-forks, which takes 20mins+, and that was after using the Ctrl-C to shutdown mining cleanly
corrected it. Yup. It can take a little bit of time to replay the blockchain, but should start back up
