Quick question on forging:
So i followed instructions at http://heatnodes.org/heatnodes.pdf to setup a node and got that working. For setting up forging I am getting stuck.

I enter in:
read -s KEY ; curl -k -s "http://localhost:7733/api/v1/mining/start/${KEY// /%20}?api_key=s" ; unset KEY
with s being API key, are you supposed to enter your secret words within this command or hit enter and then paste them and hit enter again?

Either way nothing happens, not output displayed, does not go back to command prompt and I eventually have to do ctrl+c.
The s after api-key= is not your secret phrase, but your api key defined in the heat.properties file. It should be entered as part of the command, the secret phrase is asked for when you press enter.

Sorry to not be clear, I entered the API key in place of s in that command, not my secret phrase. After hitting enter nothing happens. No prompt for secret phrase, no text to output, no return to command prompt. The hang up appears to occur with the first command in that line.
