"The miner and witnesses not configured" message can be safely ignored.
You may need some seed to speed up syncing. Add the following to the L:\steem\chain\config.ini file.
seed-node = seed.steemed.net:2001
seed-node = seed.cubeconnex.com:2001
(If you need more seed nodes, you can get them here - http://status.steemnodes.com/)
Save the config.ini and restart steemd.exe
Nice, that worked, thank you! Next question -- how do we contact our recovery agent (@steem in my case) without being able to private message? It looks like the slack is down, too...
