Features
========
- Efficient, lightweight reimplementation of electrum-server
- Efficient synchronization of bitcoin mainnet from Genesis. Recent
hardware should synchronize in well under 24 hours. The fastest
time to height 448k (mid January 2017) reported is under 4h 30m. On
the same hardware JElectrum would take around 4 days and
electrum-server probably around 1 month.
- The full Electrum protocol is implemented. The only exception is
the blockchain.address.get_proof RPC call, which is not used by
Electrum GUI clients, and can only be invoked from the command line.
- Various configurable means of controlling resource consumption and
handling denial of service attacks. These include maximum
connection counts, subscription limits per-connection and across all
connections, maximum response size, per-session bandwidth limits,
and session timeouts.
- Minimal resource usage once caught up and serving clients; tracking the
transaction mempool appears to be the most expensive part.
- Fully asynchronous processing of new blocks, mempool updates, and
client requests. Busy clients should not noticeably impede other
clients' requests and notifications, nor the processing of incoming
blocks and mempool updates.
- Daemon failover. More than one daemon can be specified, and
ElectrumX will failover round-robin style if the current one fails
for any reason.
- Coin abstraction makes compatible altcoin and testnet support easy.

compatible with Bitcoin. Such an abstraction is also useful for
testnets.

- Efficient synchronization from Genesis. Recent hardware should
synchronize in well under 24 hours, possibly much faster for recent
CPUs or if you have an SSD. The fastest time to height 439k (mid
November 2016) reported is under 5 hours. For comparison, JElectrum
would take around 4 days, and electrum-server probably around 1
month, on the same hardware.
