I run the electrum-server under a different user than bitcoind.
Thus when I set the ulimit for bitcoin (as described in the howto) it had no impact and I had to set it for the user that runs electrum.
Topic: [SOLVED] electrum server stuck and running at 100% CPU (Read 637 times)
If you open the log with it running (without running a new process) does it just say the same thing?
By killing the process you might have corrupted it?
Id head over to the electrum IRC someone more knowledgeable might help you
is freenode server #electrum

If I only start electrum-server and don't do any other command then it actually runs with around 0.3%-0.7% CPU
Only if I execute the electrum-server command a second time than it goes up to 100%.
I think I waited around 30minutes before I killed the process.
Code:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
988 bitcoin 20 0 1470944 184652 11984 S 1.0 9.0 0:33.96 bitcoind
1722 electrum 20 0 2316988 144540 46044 S 0.3 7.1 0:02.66 run_electrum_se

I noticed your transactions / second looks quite slow. How long did you leave it at 100% to make sure it was not calculating the next block.
Mine looked like this (same blocks as you)

I have installed electrum server according to the guide at https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/blob/master/HOWTO.md
I downloaded electrum-fulltree-10000-2015-12-29.tar.gz and checked the md5sum.
bitcoind is running.
When I start electrum server I get the following
But it will not continue.
If I execute any ohter electrum-server command (e.g. stop, status, getinfo) then electrum will use 100% CPU but will be stuck.
The only way to stop it is to kill the process.
If I start it again I see the following in the log
Any ideas?
Thanks.
