and everyone else having same issue.
This issue appears when your account keys are updated but that will NOT update your signing key of the witness.
The workaround is simple(WARNING the account must be imported in your wallet first if you don't have it already):
- open cli_wallet
get_witness account_nameget_private_key signing_keywheresigning_keyis the public key you received on the first command- open
config.iniof your miner - add line
private-key=WIF5_private_key(without quotes) whereWIF5_private_keyis the key you got with previous command. - restart miner
Another way implies generating a new key-pair and update the witness. The steps are (using cli_wallet):
suggest_brain_key(copy all the keys generated in a safe place)update_witness account_name "url" public_key chain_properties truewhere public_key is the public key generated before, chain properties are{"account_creation_fee":"string_value","maximum_block_size":integer_value,"sbd_interest_rate":integer_value}- open your miner config.ini and add
private-key=WIF5_private_key(without quotes on key) with the private key generated withsuggest_brain_key - restart your miner
Happy mining !!!
