This package has always been and will always be a binary package, if you want to build from source use this one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qtum-core/

The “qtum” package will be renamed to make it more clear that it is a binary install only.

Don’t flag the package as orphan, it’s being maintained with constant updates.

Best,

Miguel
