This is the first release of Fulcrum. It has been tested for a few weeks now by myself and a couple of other server admins and we are confident it is at a point where it can be used in production.

It is 100% protocol-level compatible with existing Electron Cash clients and behaves identically to existing Electrum servers (ElectronX and ElectrumX) from a client's perspective. It is very fast and we hope administering Fulcrum will be a familiar experience for server admins.

Tell your friends!


Pre-compiled binaries for Linux

I have provided two pre-built binaries for Linux:

  • Fulcrum-1.0-x86_64-linux.tar.gz, which is compiled on an Ubuntu 18.10 system.
  • Fulcrum-1.0-x86_64-linux-ub16.tar.gz, which is compiled on a stock Ubuntu 16.04 system but with g++ 7.3.0 installed from this ppa source: ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.3 & ppa:jonathonf/gcc

Both of the above binaries contains Qt5Core and Qt5Network statically linked. They still requires libz2, libstd++, and the right libc version as dynamic libs on your system (but those are usually present if you are on a recent system).

If the first binary fails, try the second one (-ub16), which should work on older systems, hopefully.

See the .asc files at the bottom for signatures; my gpg public key can be obtained here: https://github.com/Electron-Cash/keys-n-hashes/blob/master/pubkeys/calinkey.txt

Binary builds for macOS and Windows coming soon -- Until then you can always build from source!
