Mining steem on Windows

in #steem7 years ago

 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.

Here are some helpful tips to get you started:

This looks doable, but before I start experimenting I have a few questions:

  • how many steem will this mining raise (1 a week/month)?
  • how big is the dowload (30 Gigs of Steemit Blockchain and counting)?
  • will it take up every resource out of my PC or can I continue working normally?

it wan't mine alot but it depends on your computer specifications
sadly it takes alot of time to start but i don't think 30gb (don't remember actually)
yes it takes most of the power and will not be able to do anything specially if you are using laptop

Great post. I think I will have to try this. It got me curious hos fast can my pc mine.
