3) Generate coin

bash generator.sh

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_dashcoin.json

If you compile on VPS with no swap defined you have to remove the default '--jobs=3' compile flag using the -c <string> command argument, for example:

bash generator.sh -c ''

the default -c value is '--jobs=3'
