That is what I am using. If I just get that binary and run it on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 I get errors because dependencies are missing.
I installed a pile of things now and the daemon is running... though I am not sure what it is doing. It's been using 95% of CPU for several hours now. As far as I can tell it is not writing to disk (size of .SagaCoin/ has not changed). And `./sagacoind getreceivedbyaddress myaddresshash` is showing me 0.00000 for an address that I send 1 coin to, which is being shown as confirmed on the chain explorer websites. Any idea what might be the issue or how to debug this?
