I verified with the hash found here 
https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.19.8/linux/bitcoin-abc-0.19-linux-res.yml

I have not tested this with downloading the chain neither have I made 
any transactions.

Warning: if you start it without specifying a datadir then it defaults 
to ~/.bitcoin like bitcoin-core.

Since everything except ‘source’ is identical, I think we should write
it as:

  (package
    (inherit bitcoin-core)
    …)

Could you make the description a bit more specific to Bitcoin ABC?
Otherwise it’s hard to tell how it differs from bitcoin-core.

Thanks in advance!
