Blockstack Core on AWS

We're releasing a listing on the AWS Marketplace, where you can easily deploy the latest version of Blockstack core (with fastsync support).

Step 1: Login to your AWS account or create one if you don't already have one.
Step 2: Deploy a new VM from the Blockstack image, with at least 20 GB of space on the root volume.
Step 3: Login to your newly deployed node.
Step 4: Use fastsync to get the latest state:

$ blockstack-server --debug fast_sync http://fastsync.blockstack.org/snapshots/latest.bsk 023fa2e30724998010764529bda23213061c8e758d7095e1883bed8006844daaec

Step 5: Start the Blockstack Core node:

$ blockstack-server --debug start
$ tail -f ~/.blockstack-server/blockstack-server.log

If you run into any issues, you can talk to us in the #support channel at http://chat.blockstack.org

Note: fastsyn command usage is changing and we'll update it shortly:

$ blockstack-core --debug fast_sync http://40.121.156.215/snapshot.bsk
