This is the first update of Fulcrum.


What's new:

  • Tor / .onion support. Now Fulcrum is feature-complete. It can peer with .onion peers and also announce itself as a hidden service if so-configured. You need a Tor proxy for the .onion peering to work. See the new config file options: tor_hostname, tor_tcp_port, tor_ssl_port, tor_banner, & tor_proxy.
  • Bugfix -- It was possible for disconnected clients to remain as "zombies" for a time after disconnection. This has been addressed.
  • Fulcrum now has a man page! Special thanks to @hegjon for creating it and adding it to the .rpm spec file.
  • Added better formatting to the FulcrumAdmin script for the various "elapsed time" columns. Now it no longer shows you raw time in seconds, but rather a human friendly time in minutes, hours, days, etc.
  • Changed the synch. progress display to show txs/sec rather than ins & outs/sec.
  • Various internal nits and refactorings, plus some typos fixed in some esoteric error & debug messages.

Pre-compiled binaries for Linux

I have provided two pre-built binaries for Linux:

  • Fulcrum-1.0.1-x86_64-linux.tar.gz, which is compiled on an Ubuntu 18.10 system.
  • Fulcrum-1.0.1-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!
