Mining Steem on Windows is very easy . The best thing is that Steem mining uses your computer's processor, so everybody can mine. mining Steem on Windows in no time in a few simple steps...
- Download and install the miner software for Windows
- Extract the archive and run steemd.exe
- Close the miner window and open the witness_node_data_dir folder
- Edit the config.ini file with the following settings
- Under P2P nodes to connect to on startup add:
seed-node = 52.38.66.234:2001
seed-node = 52.37.169.52:2001
seed-node = 52.26.78.244:2001
seed-node = 192.99.4.226:2001
seed-node = 46.252.27.1:1337
seed-node = 81.89.101.133:2001
seed-node = 52.4.250.181:39705
seed-node = steemd.pharesim.me:2001
seed-node = seed.steemed.net:2001
seed-node = steem.clawmap.com:2001
seed-node = seed.steemwitness.com:2001
seed-node = steem-seed1.abit-more.com:2001
- Under name of witness add:
witness = "yoursteemitusername"
- Under name of miner and its private key add:
miner = ["yoursteemitusername","yourWIFprivatekeyhere"]
- In the above lines replace yoursteemitusername with your steemit.com username
- Login in your steemit.com account, go to Profile / Permissions, show your private Active key (should start with 5...) and replace yourWIFprivatekeyhere with that key
- Under Number of threads to use add:
mining-threads = 1
- Depending on your processor you can add more threads to get better hashrate such as 2 or 4, if your CPU supports Hyper Threading you can double the number of physical cores it has as the number of threads to use
- Make sure you don't have the # sign at the start of the line when you are setting a parameter such as witness or miner as this essentially comments out the whole line and it is not taken into account!
- Run steemd.exe again, wait for the blockchain to synchronize (can take a bit) and after that you should successfully start mining Steem
- The rewards you get when you successfully mine a block are in Steem Power and they should appear in your Wallet on steemit, 1 for each block.
