This is an update for https://steemit.com/steem/@r3b37/steem-mining-for-windows-linux-linux-vm-in-windows
Download the updated version of miner from :
https://github.com/btscube/steem/releases/
Reference - https://steemit.com/steem/@bitcube/steem-windows-wallet-and-miner-v0-12-0
Download the blockchain from:
http://www.steemitup.eu/
Copy the downloaded blockchain folder 'witness_node_data_dir' inside the miner folder 'steem-win-x64-012'.
Modify the config.ini as per your account and machine:
# name of witness controlled by this node (e.g. initwitness )
witness = "your-steem-account-name"
# name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
miner = ["your-steem-account-name","5YourPrivateWIFKeyIsVeryLong"]
Private key: Permissions -> Active/Owner
# Number of threads to use for proof of work mining
mining-threads = 2
You can decide mining threads as per your CPU usage and the number of processor cores.
# Endpoint for websocket RPC to listen on
rpc-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:8090
Run steemd.exe and begin mining! :)
Please note that actual mining may take few hours to start.
