3) Generate coin

The file config.json is used by default but a file can be specified using the -f file command argument, for example:

	bash generator.sh -f [CONFIG_FILE] [-c COMPILE_OPTIONS]

By default, the cryptonote generator is not using multithread. I strongly recommend to use this arguments, if you are not building on a on VPS with no swap defined

Windows:
	bash generator.sh -f config_example.json -c '/maxcpucount:3'
Linux / Mac OS X (Cmake 2.8.x):
	bash generator.sh -f config_example.json -c '-j3'

4) Print genesis tx hex

If you are creating a new coin, you need to create the genesis tx hex:

	cd generated_files/binaries/yourcoin   # yourcoin-linux for Linux, yourcoin-mac for Mac
	./yourcoind --print-genesis-tx

Change the GENESIS_COINBASE_TX_HEX in your configuration file, then 3) Generate coin again.

Examples (real life)
