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

in #steemit8 years ago

Hi

this was the last block i downloaded. after that for 7hours
807684ms th_a application.cpp:419 handle_block ] Syncing Blockchain --- Got block: #3450000 time: 2016-07-23T16:35:48

there are only requests like these...
621765ms ntp ntp.cpp:177 read_loop ] ntp_delta_time updated to 8164274 us
794472ms ntp ntp.cpp:166 read_loop ] received stale ntp reply requested at 2016-07-31T08:13:14, send a new time request
794808ms ntp ntp.cpp:166 read_loop ] received stale ntp reply requested at 2016-07-31T08:13:14, send a new time request
795094ms ntp ntp.cpp:177 read_loop ] ntp_delta_time updated to 8201930 us

do i have to restart the program? or just wait? dont want to download the whole blockchain again.. as 98% is downloaded now...

any advice?

Sort:  

No need to redownload the whole blockchain if it gets stuck at some point, it should resume at that point when you restart steemd, make sure you do a clean close with CTRL + C and confirm and not by directly closing the window of the software.

it looks like this now. am i mining now? i restarted the program with CTRLC .

3454622ms th_a witness.cpp:176 plugin_startup ] Launching block production for 1 witnesses.
3454622ms th_a witness.cpp:189 plugin_startup ] Starting mining...
3454623ms th_a witness.cpp:196 plugin_startup ] witness plugin: plugin_startup() end
3454623ms th_a main.cpp:182 main ] Started witness node on a chain with 3456729 blocks.

It should resume downloading the blockchain as you do not yet have synced to latest blocks on the network.

Once it starts mining you should see hashrate displayed and estimated time for mining a block.

If it does not happen after after a bit of waiting you can try running: steemd.exe --resync

yeah ok. i i figured i was not mining yet, as my pc only uses 8% of cpu and 10% of ram now ;)
