Got Windows mining working (built 0.11.0 binary link here)!

kodachrome (43) in mining • 8 years ago (edited)

Using Arhag's guide to cross compiling Steem to Windows I managed to produce a working Steemd.exe and CLI_wallet.exe! Its hashing right now on my Windows 10 PC.

You can get the binary's here:
https://github.com/vonkoda/steembuilds/blob/master/release/0.11.0/0.11.0.zip

Get the download of Blockchain here (not my link):
http://46.101.158.30/ (from this thread)

And start Steamd with --replay

It works! Confirmed!! Just replace the cli-wallet.exe and steemd.exe over the original ones, download the new blockchain and run steemd.exe --replay. For me it worked!

Start steamd with this appended to the command: --rpc-endpoint "127.0.0.1:8090"

Got it working by appending: rpc-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:8090 in the config file. However, after unlocking, the commands don't seem to be working with steemd.exe running.
The help() command threw this:

help()

Im at about 31-32k on a I5 4690k @ 4.5Ghz, so that seems about right.

Just replying to my own post, I noticed twice now that it mines for hours then pauses, no errors but no mining. Can be closed gracefully with CTRL+C.. anyone else have this problem (it could just be something on my PC, its overclocked etc)?
I might try rebuild it today anyhow with the newest version of Boost (1.61), already tried 1.60 and its doesnt execute.

I am mining at win7 64b and i see the steemd occupies 2GB of RAM!!!!
this should be a memory leak bug!
Also i don't see any steems in my account after 2 days mining at 40K :(

Cool... I finally got the mining to work. This is all new to me.
So how do we monitor the results?

Depends how you created the account you are using to mine. If its your SteemIt account and you are using your private key, you would check it here:
https://steemd.com/@incomemonthly

If you setup a new account via CLI_wallet, then it wont actually activate on Steamd.com until it finds a POW, which could take ages.

Do you have any Ubuntu 16 - How to Instructions if someone asks?

I built this on Ubuntu 16.04. I run it natively too of course. There are good guides on Steemit on how to build, like this one: https://steemd.com/miner-category/@clayop/steem-miner-setup-in-ubuntu-15

steemd working . why "Mined false" display https://steemd.com/@vita1ico

$0.00

[-]

kodachrome (43) · 8 years ago

I think Mined True only appears if you created an account with CLI_Wallet and your miner has successfully found work. I have two accounts and the miner only account shows true and the SteemeIt account shows false (even though its mining too).

What errors exactly? Did you try deleting the Config.ini and starting again? Also make sure you get the newest Blockchain and manually put it in the blockchain folder (and start steamd with --replay)
