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
bash generator.sh -f config_example.json -c '/maxcpucount:3'
bash generator.sh -f config_example.json -c '-j3'
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.
