I just need a bit of help getting started mining steem (assuming that's still possible).
I set up my file with my proper username and keys and added seed nodes and a checkpoint.
Everything seems to be alright as far as I can tell, but here's a screenshot of what I get when I started it up the first time a few minutes ago:
Is there anything wrong with this?
If so, what do I need to do to fix it?
If not, will the screen change after a certain amount of time as it's just loading? or is it stuck and I need to modify something?
Thank you in advance mates! :)
