[Solved] Important info for STEEM miners, Steemit.com accounts (coming from facebook or reddit) seem to loose the 'Generated blocks'

in mining •  8 years ago  (edited)

I am running multiple miners, so I have been able to look at the different logs and steemd.com real income.

And I have realized that every time my miner was 'Broadcasting Proof of Work for #myaccount' and that this account was one created with facebook or reddit, in this example it is artakan303, the 'Generated block # with timestamp ...' was missing:

That means that artakan303 is never getting paid for the block found !

As you can see above only artakan304, and artakan305 have received a confirmation. I have noticed that on my other miners also.

He is the partial content of the config.ini:

witness = "artakan303"
witness = "artakan304"
witness = "artakan305"
miner = ["artakan303","#WIF PRIVATE KEY"]
miner = ["artakan304","#WIF PRIVATE KEY"]
miner = ["artakan305","#WIF PRIVATE KEY"]

So I advise you to change it to something like that:

witness = "artakan304"
witness = "artakan305"
witness = "artakan306"
miner = ["artakan304","#WIF PRIVATE KEY"]
miner = ["artakan305","#WIF PRIVATE KEY"]
miner = ["artakan306","#WIF PRIVATE KEY"]

I have other miners which are NOT using any Steemit.com account:
https://steemd.com/@artakan10
https://steemd.com/@artakan11
https://steemd.com/@artakan20
https://steemd.com/@artakan21
and you can go and see that everything is paid and is even quite profitable ( my hashrate is about 15000hps).

Do you experience the same thing or is it just me ?

Here is another example, with the steemit account missing ( the steemit account is artakan).

update: Apparently the problem is coming from the reason that I changed my keys and that the witness keys are not changed, more details posted on

There's nothing wrong with mining using your "steemit.com account". It's all about your keys and using proper miner configuration. I tried to explain common mistake https://steemit.com/mining/@gtg/missing-rewards-while-mining

My Steemit account was created with Facebook and as you can see it works perfectly fine: https://steemd.com/@dercoco
I only missed 2 blocks yet because my witness crashed.

whats wrong with using steemit.com account for mining?

And I have realized that every time my miner was 'Broadcasting Proof of Work for #myaccount' and that this account was one created with facebook or reddit, in this example it is artakan303, the 'Generated block # with timestamp ...' was missing

Okay, I get your message, "Don't use accounts created on steemit.com for mining". However, I do that-- and one of them works and another three do not. The one that is working fine is @kloudery. You can see its output at steemd.com/@kloudery.

Now here's the tricky bit-- I do that, and another three accounts do not work!

Ok I might change the title, but something weird is definitely happening ....
