I am trying to set up a steem miner on Ubuntu 14 using latest code from https://github.com/steemit/steem. I've followed the following references: 1. https://steem.io/documentation/how-to-mine/ 2. https://steemit.com/steemhelp/@joseph/mining-steem-for-dummies However, I am only seeing the following on the console. Can someone provide pointers as to what I am missing? ``` next_block.validate_signee( witness.signing_key ): {} th_a database.cpp:2844 validate_block_header rethrow {} th_a database.cpp:2637 _apply_block 2583208ms th_a application.cpp:448 handle_block ] Error when pushing block: 10 assert_exception: Assert Exception next_block.validate_signee( witness.signing_key ): {} th_a database.cpp:2844 validate_block_header rethrow {} th_a database.cpp:2637 _apply_block {"new_block":{"previous":"0000000000000000000000000000000000000000","timestamp":"2016-03-24T16:05:00","witness":"initminer","transaction_merkle_root":"0000000000000000000000000000000000000000","extensions":[],"witness_signature":"204f8ad56a8f5cf722a02b035a61b500aa59b9519b2c33c77a80c0a714680a5a5a7a340d909d19996613c5e4ae92146b9add8a7a663eef37d837ef881477313043","transactions":[]}} th_a database.cpp:544 operator() 2583209ms th_a fork_database.cpp:41 push_block ] Pushing block to fork database that failed to link: 00000002ed04e3c3def0238f693931ee7eebbdf1, 2 2583209ms th_a fork_database.cpp:42 push_block ] Head: 1, 0000000109833ce528d5bbfb3f6225b39ee10086 2583209ms th_a application.cpp:445 handle_block ] Error when pushing block: 3080000 unlinkable_block_exception: unlinkable block block does not link to known chain {} th_a fork_database.cpp:62 _push_block {"new_block":{"previous":"0000000109833ce528d5bbfb3f6225b39ee10086","timestamp":"2016-03-24T16:05:36","witness":"initminer","transaction_merkle_root":"0000000000000000000000000000000000000000","extensions":[],"witness_signature":"1f3e85ab301a600f391f11e859240f090a9404f8ebf0bf98df58eb17f455156e2d16e1dcfc621acb3a7acbedc86b6d2560fdd87ce5709e80fa333a2bbb92966df3","transactions":[]}} th_a database.cpp:544 operator() 2583210ms th_a fork_database.cpp:41 push_block ] Pushing block to fork database that failed to link: 000000035b094a812646289c622dba0ba67d1ffe, 3 2583210ms th_a fork_database.cpp:42 push_block ] Head: 1, 0000000109833ce528d5bbfb3f6225b39ee10086 2583210ms th_a application.cpp:445 handle_block ] Error when pushing block: 3080000 unlinkable_block_exception: unlinkable block block does not link to known chain {} th_a fork_database.cpp:62 _push_block ```

Like @bobo012 said, you may be on the wrong fork. Try to add a checkpoint in the config.ini file and see if it get resolved. ~~~~ # Pairs of [BLOCK_NUM,BLOCK_ID] that should be enforced as checkpoints. checkpoint = [2931839 , "002cbc7f53cd19156412ac078ae8879114d92526"] ~~~~ or download this [blockchain](http://steemitup.eu/), and the checkpoint is included.

@alphabeta: Thanks. I had already tried downloading the blockchain and that didn't help. After using `checkpoint` along with the blockchain, I saw two messages that said `Got a block` but the same problem continued thereafter. :(

Sorry to hear that. I know the checkpoint solved my issues. Looks like you're still on the wrong fork. Maybe try to re-sync it again.

Try windows mining, you are probably on the wrong fork. I had the same problems with linux mining, then switched to win and everything works

@dave-hughes: Not sure what difference that is going to make. Could you elaborate a bit more on what options you are referring to?
