2. Copy the base64 string and append it to the remixIDE's URL like this:
   https://remix.ethereum.org/?#code=<BASE64_STRING_OF_YOUR_CONTRACT>

eg. https://remix.ethereum.org/?#code=Ly8gU1BEWC1MaWNlbnNlLUlkZW50aWZpZXI6IE1JVApwcmFnbWEgc29saWRpdHkgMC44LjI0OwoKY29udHJhY3QgQyB7CiAgICAvLyBIZWxsbyBGcmVucwp9

This link will open a remix IDE with your smart contract in it, ready to play around with.

Here's how to do it:

1. Encode your Smart Contract to base64. Here are a couple of easy ways to do it:
	1. Online tool: https://www.base64encode.org/
