RE: Getting Started Mining Steem on Windows [Step by Step Guide]

in #steemit8 years ago

I was having similar issues and fixed it. This could be the cause.
You need to remove the # for only the specified line but you also need to keep the quotes around the miner name.
Try making it look like this:
'# name of witness controlled by this node (e.g. initwitness )
witness = "madsquirrel"
'# name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
miner = ["madsquirrel","WIFShouldStartWithA5"]
**don't keep the ' in the example above. Had to add the ' to not change the font from '#'.
Another issue could be that you selected the wrong WIF:
Login, select permissions. The correct WIF is the ACTIVE WIF but you need to login before you get it. It starts with a '5'.
