How to mine Safex Cash on VPS, Part 2

Update 01/09/2018: Safex mainnet launched with some short lived technical issues. Compiling process for Safex mainnet is the same except you need to run ./safexd instead of ./safexd –testnet. Some users reported issues with not being able to find safexcore/build/release/bin folder beofre they try to run ./safexd –testnet (7:25). It can be sorted by not running screen command before you actually compile the blockchain (see updated instructions below). Then you can run screen before mining. If you already run screen command too early, type ‘exit’ once or twice until screen closes down. Then reopen putty window and go back few steps to repeat compiling.
