Introduction and new to Steemit
Hi, I'm Ruth, new to Steemit and new to mining cryptocurrencies. I'm interested in learning how to mine Steem. Is it still possible to mine Steem using a CPU and windows?
Where can i get the latest Steem miner .exe file?
I mine other currencies and buy steem with the bitcoin proceeds. To do this I use the nicehash miner (as it is the easiest and requires basically no tinkering). Mining steem directly nets me much less steem then mining something else and buying steem.
Welcome
Greetings! I'll let someone else jump in with the technicals as I'm not much of a miner myself. However, I know that while Steem is mineable, the system is weighted heavily toward what is known as "proof of stake" vs. "proof of work" and I don't believe mining is very casual or profitable for the average user.
In a sense, mining Steem is best accomplished by participating on the site!
Most folks who want to mine to build their Steem Power tend to mine other coins and simply convert them into Steem on a day to day basis.
Good luck!
Welcome to Steemit! :))
