I was working on this project for the last few months, so a user could run =
his own Electrum server, with required hardware resources not much beyond t=

er [2] and bitcoincore-indexd [3]).<br>

The server indexes the entire Bitcoin blockchain, and the resulting index [=
4] enables fast queries for any given user wallet, allowing the user to kee=
p real-time track of his balances and his transaction history using the Ele=
ctrum wallet [5].<br>
Since it runs on the user&#39;s own machine, there is no need for the walle=
t to communicate with external Electrum servers, thus preserving the privac=
y of the user&#39;s addresses and balances.<br>
<br>
Features:<br>
=C2=A0* Supports latest Electrum protocol [6].<br>
=C2=A0* Maintains an index of transaction inputs and outputs, allowing fast=
 balance queries<br>
=C2=A0* Fast synchronization of the Bitcoin blockchain (~2.5 hours for ~185=
