Hi Daniel!

Thanks for checking out the v8 branch. It's still a work in progress, but it should definitely be able to connect to ABC.

Do you mind sharing your bitcore.config.json and the version of ABC, and also the port that ABC is running on for p2p and rpc?

HI Micahriggan Thanks for the response - looks like we got it to work syncing at the moment - still appreciate if you can have a look.

We were unable to install via npm. So we installed via clone -b v8.0.0 https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-node.git - we had complications with setting config file - used https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore/tree/v8.0.0 to help including - BITCORE_CONFIG_PATH=some/path/to/config node bin/start -

bitcore.config.json
"bitcoreNode": {
"pruneSpentScripts": true,

"mainnet": {
"chainSource": "p2p",

}
],
"rpc": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 8332,
