OK, can someone hold my hand, please? 
I’m trying to setup the node in Windows machine, but I don’t know how. I can download the safenode.exe but how to proceed from there?
I have Ubuntu machine at hand too, if that would be any easier?

I’m installing Ubuntu on a thumb drive. Can’t wait to jump in. I’ll also need some hand holding.

Execute the safenode command from the OP.
If you are behind a router though it may fail .

I know I’m going to screw it up, but I’m going to try to join the Joshnet, I hope it lasts long enough.

'safenode' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Got to copy-paste the safenode.exe to my user root dir. Seems to be working now!
EDIT: Yes, seems to be working, how can I confirm? Task manager shows memory consumption of about 500MB and network traffic at about 20Mbps.

Are you on Windows or linux?
If linux copy it to /usr/local/bin – use sudo
then do ls -al $(which safenode) and check the timestamp makes sense

View the logfile and also check it is growing. That will at least show whether the node is active and the content might help you see what is going on.

tail -f /tmp/safenode/safenode.log is your friend
