Steemit, I NEED ANSWERS!!!

Thank you so much. This is very helpful. If I'm not able to mine a block I cannot have my own account away from the site. oh :( No block explorer? Is it true that I need to connect to a specific server to mine?

It's more like solo mining and you'll be able to do it with any computer that has a CPU ;D ... you have to set up a steemd node, sync the chain and mine for about a half a day on an intel i7 ...

this is a good guide to mining both on windows and linux (as it describes a linux vm on windows):

just remember to also set the "private-key" in config ini ... it has to be without quote marks, unlike other keys in that config file ...

here's a hashing comparison for some CPU's:

As it comes to block explorers ... that steemd.com page is the closest thing afaik ...
