have had really bad connectivity problems today and so I decided that I would try to run the steemd rpc on my laptop to do development. It would still answer queries (but not post broadcasts) even if it was offline.

Thus, I had a problem. My laptop would not replay it from scratch in a week, even if I added memory (though maybe it would be in a day if it had an SSD upgrade). So I am instead running transmission-daemon on my server, which is serving up two torrents containing the full and working (currently running based on the same exact files) for a RPC node with seeding enabled to localhost (so you can load balance/cache/reverse proxy it), and the version of steemd that built this folder, which is the current master on the steemit/steemd git.

Here is the links to the .torrent files that will get you these two folders already to run (be aware the RPC torrent is about 50 Gb in size):

If you download these to an ubuntu system, first it has to be 16.04 (you will have to fiddle with getting boost 1.57 for 14.04), be aware that you will need to install the prerequisite support libraries thusly:

sudo apt-get install -y \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    cmake \
    g++ \
    git \
    libssl-dev \
    libtool \
    make \
    pkg-config \
    libboost-chrono-dev \
    libboost-context-dev \
    libboost-coroutine-dev \
    libboost-date-time-dev \
    libboost-filesystem-dev \
    libboost-iostreams-dev \
    libboost-locale-dev \
    libboost-program-options-dev \
    libboost-serialization-dev \
    libboost-signals-dev \
    libboost-system-dev \
    libboost-test-dev \
    libboost-thread-dev \
    doxygen \
    libncurses5-dev \
    libreadline-dev \
    perl \
    bc

Then you can go into the steem folder of the steem torrent folder you downloaded:

cd steem/build
sudo make install

and that should install it to /usr/local and once you also have the full rpc torrent completely downloaded you can then:

steem -d /path/to/rpc 

and it should start up, sync up to date and then be providing full RPC function (for wallet, or other steem app), as well as making available a seed node that you can connect up to the one in localhost with a webserver if you want to seed (make inbound connections available to sync the blockchain and broadcast traffic).

Good Hunting Stalker!
