Can someone help me out here?
I tried with all the Private keys I could find inside my steem wallet, which one should I use?
Thanks!
Private key: Permissions -> Active (show)
If if you still get the same error, please paste your config.ini here removing the private key from it

mate, I try to generate my active private key going to where you have described above.
when i click show it asks me to login, i enter my password and it accepts it but it does not show my key. I have tried both my main password and posting private key.
Am i doing something wrong?
thanks for any help you can give me!

Why don't you try a different browser? Or maybe open and close it.
I use Chrome and I see my keys just fine.
Cheers

Hi @r3b37 ,
Thank you for the reply!
I can confirm that is the key I am using. Here is the config file info ( do you need the whole thing?).
name of witness controlled by this node (e.g. initwitness )
witness = erik-prestinary
name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
miner = ["erik-prestinary",”5XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”]
Number of threads to use for proof of work mining
mining-threads = 1

replace
witness = erik-prestinary
with
witness = "erik-prestinary"
and try to see the active private key from chrome browser
