3. Install the installation script. This will change settings on your system. If you are worried (you should be?), then you could run this step by step manually.
- run `bfa/bin/installbfa.sh`
4. Switch to user `bfa`
- run `sudo su - bfa`
5. Start synchronizing. Synchronizing can take a while. This script is automatically run at system restart.
- run `start.sh`
7. Monitor the logs with `bfalog.sh`. Press CTRL-C at any time to stop the `tail -f`.
7. Change your node's settings with `syncmode.sh`
8. Change your node's settings with `syncmode.sh`
- Do this before you have synced too much in the step before, as it might remove all your downloaded chain data and restart synchronizing the chain.
8. Wait for it to finish synchronizing.
9. Run `maymine.sh` to update your configuration (detects if you are allowed to seal/mine or not). You can run this as often as you wish. If you try to mine/seal but is not allowed, your log will show errors (but no harm done).

11. Simple super basic tools (more actual proof of concepts, to inspire programmers):
-`explorer.sh` : It follows "latest" by default, but you can specify a block number as argument, e.g. `explorer.sh 0` to see genesis (block 0).
-`walker.pl` : Also takes a blocknumber to start from. Keeps waiting for new blocks.
