I've been mining STEEM for a while now! See my first mining post. I think it has been about 3 weeks now, about 1 week after joining Steemit and seeing some great guides on how to get started mining, one good one in particular by @pfunk.
I'm doing the mining on an i7 desktop in a Ubuntu VM:
~20000 hps! Is that a lot? No? Not sure.
I don't know about the estimated time though.. It's already been a long time and it's still stuck at around 28 minutes or so. Haha. At least this is way better than a few days ago when it showed an estimated time of 20 or so days! I'm thinking this might be due to the recent mining bug (see How @supercomputing was able to dominate the mining queue and how the bug was fixed.). But now that it's been fixed, I'll finally be able to find some pows!
One interesting thing to note is that if you see the screenshot of the miner in my first mining post, I had a slightly faster hps but the estimated time was way larger. I would think that the difficulty would have gone way up in 3 weeks time, but it could be that the recent mining bug discouraged some miners? We'll have to wait and see.
Who here is also a miner of STEEM? And how is it going for you?
