How to use Fulcrum RPM package

Calin Culianu aka cculianu, an Electron Cash developer have started a new project called Fulcrum. https://github.com/cculianu https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum I decided to package Fulcrum for Fedora Linux and distribute it via COPR. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jonny/BitcoinCash/ Fulcrum is a fast & nimble SPV server for Bitcoin Cash. It is written with C++ and Qt. It is possible to include the server into the official Fedora repository in the future. Installation # Enable package repo $ sudo dnf copr enable jonny/BitcoinCash # Download and install the package $ sudo dnf install fulcrum # Start the fulcrum service $ sudo systemctl start fulcrum.service # View the logs $ journalctl -f -u fulcrum.service # View the status $ systemctl status fulcrum.service ~~Sounds strange, but my intentions was to call the package fulcrum, will find out why I needed to call it Fulcrum-contrib-rpm.~~ Update: I managed to rename the package name to fulcrum. Details The config file is located `/etc/fulcrum.conf`. There is a dedicated user called `fulcrum` that runs the server via systemd, the datadir used is `/var/lib/fulcrum`. The executable is installed in `/usr/bin/fulcrum` and can also be executed as a normal user.
