Witness parse Error : plugin_initialize

I have followed several guides t mine and I keep getting the same error. I currently have a windows 10 box mining ethereum and I wanted to mine Steem on it.

I keep getting:

C:\steem>steemd

Can someone help me out here?

I tried with all the Private keys I could find inside my steem wallet, which one should I use?

Thanks!
