Congrats again. It looks like we've had a similar weekend :)

I tried to put up a miner on a VM. I installed Ubuntu then steemd. Everything looks OK except that it's not working :(

All I get is:

Started witness node on a chain with 0 blocks.

And it's not moving anywhere.

I've tried both without blockchain and with yesterday's download. The same result.
I guess I'll make a separate post to lament about it and ask for some help...

Did you follow the same guide post? Did you add the seed nodes to the config?.

I don't understand the output of the miner. I'm assuming I can stop and re-start it if I need to. I'm not going to leave the PC on 24/7, but it takes a while to start up, so may not be viable to just run for a day each time

I suspect network settings of the firewall. I will check them out tomorrow. There will be no time tonight for playing with the miner...

I think this page is showing who mined the latest blocks https://steemd.com/witnesses

gxt-1080-sc_xxx and rabbit_xxx seem to have lots of accounts that are doing well.

I love Bitcoin but haven't tried mining. I only buy Bitcoin and now thinking of trading coins. :) I just signed up at Poloniex.

i only get application.cpp message, not the wintess.cpp line...does this mean my config file is not properly set up? Great post, thanks!

Could be. Maybe I was lucky that it worked, but it's not clear what it's doing
