I was trying to set up a miner today by following links in steem center. But the information is so out of date. All the tutorials I've found so far are a year old. So decided to compile a tutorial applicable to 07/2017 and onwards.
tl;dr
Windows binaries no longer work. Need to set up ubuntu virtual machine to do so.
Tried out the windows one, definitely not working. Looks like the binary is too old. After the hard fork during 01/2017, the binary does not seem to work any more.
The instructions on ubuntu 16.04 is also out of date. You might hit some python dependency failures as the source has upgraded to use python3.
