Hello.

In service for run deamon on boot is missing. Before zcash I was use monero (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=monero) and so far so good - service works pretty well.

I added a user zcashd.service:

systemctl --user start zcashd.service

This will run zcash in your home directory and store the blockchain and wallet data in ~/.zcash as usual.

Why like this? This implementation requires have blockchain for all users separately. Why not use generic Arch way: blockchain is handled by user like 'bitcoin' or 'monero' in user home directory '/var/lib/bitcoin/'? This behavior is already used by:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/monero/

There is a problem with that. A user cannot write his wallet data in /var/lib/zcash. If you look at bitcoin's .service you can see --disable-wallet, means it only stores the blockchain. I thought about making 2 service files, one user level and one system level with wallet disabled. The problem is that Zcash requires running fetch-parameters on the first run; this download special keys in ~/.zcash-params and this location is not configurable. If there was a way to download to /var/lib/zcash, I would have done it. I'm open for suggestions.
