Wishlist: Electrum Rust Server

[romanz]

Code from: https://github.com/romanz/electrs

An efficient re-implementation of Electrum Server, inspired by ElectrumX, Electrum Personal Server and bitcoincore-indexd.

The motivation behind this project is to enable a user to run his own Electrum server, with required hardware resources not much beyond those of a full node. The server indexes the entire Bitcoin blockchain, and the resulting index enables fast queries for any given user wallet, allowing the user to keep real-time track of his balances and his transaction history using the Electrum wallet. Since it runs on the user's own machine, there is no need for the wallet to communicate with external Electrum servers, thus preserving the privacy of the user's addresses and balances.

An initial Dockerfile version can be found here with its usage example.

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for linking the docker files.

I'm curious to see if you also have a version of the rust server for the Electrum Personal Server ?

@romanz we also would love to have the Trezor SSH agent integrated.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Rust version for Electrum Personal Server.
I have re-implemented ElectrumX functionality in Rust, mainly because I wanted to optimize the initial indexing time, memory and CPU requirements.

we also would love to have the Trezor SSH agent integrated.

Sounds great!
I've opened an issue at romanz/trezor-agent#264.
Please let me know if there is any specific requirement/use-case you have in mind :)

As far as I'm concerned we can just do this instead of the electrumx #3 which I can temporarily close for now
