Finished syncing everything, including Fulcrum and now it's working; however, I am a bit disappointed of the speed. For example I am using:
FulcrumAdmin -p 8000 query
I am getting about an average of 1 response every 2-3 seconds. I expected this to be faster, is there a way to benefit of more performance? My setup should be doing better than this since I am running on my main desktop. Also is there a better explorer than BTC RPC Explorer? Especially for its API.
