Welcome to the go-ethereum wiki!

Start a thereumfair full node

1. Setup

1.1 Minimum Hardware Requirements

A fast CPU with 4+ cores
16GB+ of RAM
At least 800G space of fast SSD drive
25 MBit/s bandwith

1.2 geth source code

https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum for sync chaindata
https://github.com/ethereumfair/go-ethereum for sync chaindata and fork

Download the code and build it

2. Sync the chaindata from Ethereum network

The ethereumfair fork need to prepare the data before Ethereum total terminal difficulty(TTD) was reached.

2.1 Sync the chaindata using ethereum geth

Copy geth file into a new directory which will store the chaindata
Run ./geth --datadir "data" console
Wait to sync chaindata for several hours
Stop the sync before total terminal difficulty(TTD) is reached

2.2 Sync the chaindata using ethereumfair geth

Copy geth file into a new directory which will store the chaindata
Run ./geth --datadir "data" console
Wait to sync chaindata for several hours

3. Fork ethereum to ethereum-fair

The ethereumfair fork need to run geth from https://github.com/ethereumfair/go-ethereum

Copy ethereumfair geth into the directory which contains chaindata before TTD
Run ./geth --networkid 513100 --datadir "data" console to sync last blocks before TTD
The ethereumfair will fork from ethereum automatically after TTD
