 raspibolt guide looks old. just tested v3.0 with fulcrum according to our documentation for a fully manual install and it's working fine so far.

recommend cross-referencing with our docs to see if you missed anything.  

will run and observe for a day or so. 
 Got it. Will have a look 👀 
 So I did compare and ended using your configs, modified with my data. 
Upgraded the machine to 16GB ram, but still: I have full blown 100% running cpu and hammering the rams just by mempool backend. 

and its just updating the unconfirmed TX. Since days. 
 And it also has problems fetching conversion api credit all the time, no idea why. Pihole is not blocking it 
 @KeithMukai , hmm. So it’s not just you experiencing cpu hog issues 
 Oh so there are more?! ;) 
 Setting fiat to false did the trick. It’s still eating cpu during updating unconfirmed tx, but by far not that aggressive anymore. 

  "FIAT_PRICE": {
    "ENABLED": false,
    "PAID": false,
    "API_KEY": "your-api-key-from-freecurrencyapi.com"
  }

will not checkout an API key and set it to true again 
 good looks, did make that change but don't remember it causing high resource usage...just wanted to get rid of the log messages 😁 
 Kept it running with fiat enabled and a provided API key, but still, that was more cpu hungry than fiat disabled. So I will keep it like this for the sake of my cpu fans ;) for the time being
