Hi all, 

I am a bit a of a noob when it comes to Linux and mining in general but I saw a few posts on here talking about how to get setup - it seemed simple enough so I decided to give it a go. I have managed to get the miner installed on a server and I am accessing it via ssh

The miner has been running on and off for a couple of days now and it has managed to update the full blockchain. 

Lastnight i was able to actually do a little bit of mining, I didn't actually take any screenshots but it looked like it was working (the lines in the console were showing a hash rate along with some other information)

over the couple of days it took to update the blockchain the steemd was crashing from time to time. I just kept an eye on it, connecting every so often to see how it was getting on. 

After mining overnight I came to check it this morning and steemd has again crashed (its not running) so I have tried to start it again but now i cannot get past 95% of replaying the blockchain. I have tried multiple times but steemd just keeps crashing and i can never verify the blockchain to continue mining. 

I am not getting a specific error message at all, I am actually running steemd and piping to a log file. I check the log file after i see the daemon has failed and the last few lines are:

If there is any other information I can give anyone to help please just ask - I could really do with some suggestions as I don't really know where to go from here. 

thanks for taking the time
