Here's the format change which makes the foundry full tree version (from Feb 17th) unusable:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/commit/7164e2928d341fe197b68a9966542e7be1e26709
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/commit/2a8c19f5f3bdae38e9ef89bf7515dc10a7bb1893

And there's already somebody building a 10k db. I guess you'll be better of if you just wait for his db.

Just in case someone is having the same trouble as me.  When I ran the foundry fulltree version from Feb I got an error saying it was deprecated.  I imagine something in the format changed.  Anyways, I am building a db with 10000 pruning limit with fulltree.  It is going and when it is done I'll tar it up and post it for others.  I only have it going at an acceptable speed by using a high memory Google Compute Engine node and having it all in RAM.  Even so, it is not fast.

If someone wants me to, I can continue to tar and make available these snapshots.

Cool.

Is turning on irc in the config the thing to do to advertise your node?

Will there be foundry release of fulltree with a pruning limit of greater than 100? 

please note that the branch "fulltree" was merged to "master".
this means that if you pull, you will need to recreate your database, or import it from the foundry.
you will also need to install plyvel.
use the 'start' and 'stop' scripts to start and stop the server.

Hello i have sucessfully instaled and around two months testing our electrum server

Important: The onion address for electrum.icetwy.re has changed. This is a purely cosmetic modification, in order to have an onion address starting with "electrum".

New address: electrum2vikbmxv.onion
Previous address: 2aspcrrdseyvlaod.onion

The change has already been in effect for a few weeks now. Thanks to the user who reminded me of this!

There were quite a few more improvements to the server code in the past week! OPs are encouraged to git pull.

If you haven't pulled in a while: The server does no longer require bitcoind to be patched. You need run bitcoind with txindex=1 instead and may need to reindex once if you're adding the setting. Please see the HOWTO which is up2date: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/blob/master/HOWTO.md

I have setup a public server to help out.

hostname: electrum.cryptopush.com
network: IPv4 and IPv6
ports: 8081,8082,50001,50002
prune: 10000
location: NY,NY USA

I have also subscribed to this thread to keep up with new server developments.

Enjoy!

What are the average disk, cpu load and bandwidth requirements?

Someone said about 1gb of memory is used, I guess the block chain is what it is currently. So what about bandwidth and cpu?

OT:

After getting hit with the bitcoin-qt OSX block database corruption bugs, for months, with no obvious solution or even acknowledgement on the forums, and having the same corruption issues in a ubuntu VM if it wasn't treated with kid gloves, then switching to multi-bit and getting a little concerned over the Issues list on github, and the "magic" involved that apparently means it can ignore the full block chain, then using blockchain.info but watching how the reward for hacking these online wallets rises almost exponentially. Finally I'm on electrum and feel instantly comfortable with it!

Two memory leaks were fixed sunday and yesterday.
These leaks had been there for a long time, but were revealed by the release of the 1.9 client and its multiple connections.

Please git pull!

Hey, I've just finished setting up my own Electrum server. It will remain public.

The server is electrum.icetwy.re. Onion address for Tor users: electrum2vikbmxv.onion

Ports: 8081 (HTTP), 8082 (HTTPS), 50001 (TCP), 50002 (TCP+SSL).

More info is available in the console upon connecting to the server. Enjoy

Hello, im trying to setup my own electrum server, everything seems to be ok. I downloaded the leveldb database file and synchronized to current. Server has started, but if I try to connect to it with my wallet, it got stuck on Synchronizing.
In the server log I can see:
But my local wallet got frozen and displays "Synchronizing..." on the status bar. There is not much load on the server, so I dont know what went wrong? When I connect to any other public server with my wallet, everything is ok.
The server is running further and processing blocks, but wallet is still saying "Synchronizing..."
Can anyone help, please?

we just detected and fixed a bug with the servers:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/commit/4a82994032a48db0fc4be814091215c69891ab17

if you are running an Electrum server, please do a git pull;
(servers that have not updated their code are stuck at block 265457).

Hello,

I just introduced SSL certificate validation in the client code.
The client does accepts self-signed certificates.
However, it rejects expired certificates.

I noticed that a few servers have expired certificates, and are rejected by the client.
If that is your case, please create a new certificate for your server; you may set its expiration date in 10 years.

It's python, no compile AFAIK. (I haven't tried running server on Windows though...)

Does anyone have a Windows compile of the latest Electrum server?

Yeah! I've just got my server to work on a linux VM with the help from the IRC channel and now I was wondering if I can make it run on windows.
Is there anything that will prevent me from compiling and running the electrum server on a windows machine?

To server ops: You can upgrade to bitcoind 0.8.4 without any problems with the current electrum-server code. Just apply the known patch and compile.

I've updated the howto accordingly: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/blob/master/HOWTO.md

Thank you! I think that solved it. I changed from 'host=localhost' to 'host=0.0.0.0', and I commented out the 'password=secret'. This isn't the bitcoind section, so I don't think it's the bitcoin password. I DO have the bitcoin password set in the bitcoind section.

Anyway, now I can connect REMOTELY using TCP, SSL, HTTP, and HTTPS.

Cool... If this works, I'll be running another public electrum server soon. Electrum is really the ONLY wallet that doesn't suck in some way.
[I hope Thomas doesn't take offense to this. This is my highest compliment.]
