The September Bitcoin test/demonstration/spam attack/DDoS attack has begun.  Now is the time for all Electrum Server operators to check how their node is standing up, including looking at the processor loading used by Electrum and Bitcoind.

First time I built the db I thought it was hung a couple of time, too. But it really wasn't, just taking very long.

I ended up using a db download.


I built a DB (1000 limit) from scratch back in April - it took 5 weeks  Roll Eyes

Much better to DL one  Grin
2 days and I'm at block 170k
Everytime I download it fails the md5 check.

The first 170K is fine - the next 200K will take forever  Grin

yes.. i noticed by myself.
even on a 30 GB Ramdisk and fast CPU..

What is the main point which takes that long?
Request from bitcoind? generate the DB?..

Hi,

I have just finished Electrum LTC server up and running, but I have" small" issue left.

All working fine when I connected to Electrum client from localhost.
But I like to get work also as public server.

The problem is that, TCP and SSL sockets could not open...I don't know why.

IRC connect is OK.
"electrum-ltc-server peers" -command prints my nick name correctly.
Port forwarding has done to these two ports (50001 and 50002) and iptables should be ok. Also ports 50001 and 50002 are open.

Could someone help me with this issue?

Thank you!

Problem solved.
Configuration problem on /etc/electrum-ltc.conf -file.

Should be:
"host = 192.168.1.33"
not FQDN address.


Also, there's no support whatsoever for Electrum and altcoins here...

So now I'm in the process of rebuilding the server's db because apparently mine was incorrect, it was giving the wrong hash.

But the server hangs during block import every few blocks and I have to kill and restart it.

Are you sure it hangs? Can you look at cpu and io load during the "hang"?

I believe I am correctly running a public Electrum node at btc.mustyoshi.com:50001

You server doesn't seem to be connected on IRC... So no, you're not correctly running a public Electrum node Smiley
How do I fix that? I thought I had the config file setup right.
EDIT: So apparently report_host can't be the same as host.

host is the IP of the server
report_host is the FQDN of the server

It looks like the leveldb dumps are not updated in the foundry:
http://foundry.electrum.org/leveldb-dump/?C=M;O=D

Last dump is from July 8.


It used to be daily...

I update the 1000 limit weekly (on Saturday).

I believe there is a 48hours timeout...so if you haven't confirmed them yet, they should come back into your wallet.

Thanks.  I'm not worried.  One way or another, I'll get the bitcoins back since I sent them from my bitcoin core wallet to my Electrum wallet.  And they were pocket change, compared to the amount I've previously lost thanks to scamming bitcoin miner companies...   Sad

Electrum-server used 5832 seconds to process one block!  This is a bug.  Not a slow processor.  


I wouldn't say that it is a bug, but instead, not optimized for slow processors, or bloated blocks, full of useless UTXOs that the Bitcoin spammer is currently injecting in the network today...

... over 50k transactions are in the waiting room at the moment, waiting to be included into a block... https://chain.so/BTC

If senders didn't put at least 0.0005 BTC per kb, as transaction fees, the waiting time to be included into a block is... 16h

One of those transactions is mine.  I sent it from my Bitcoin Core 10.2 wallet with the default transaction cost.  I believe this was a bug, with less than 1000 Satoshi's as fee.  It has been sitting unconfirmed for 24 hours.   I am sure that lots of other people are in the same boat.  About the only way to put it is, "Bitcoin is experimental.  It is not ready for production use by normal people."  These problems will either be fixed or bitcoin will cease to exist.
