Thanks for the info HCP.
It appears that while things are working, I still get (in electrs) errors like " failed to send PeriodicUpdate to peer 81: sending on a full channel" and I can see that electrs keeps disconnecting my connections to it from different wallets. It appears that there must be some more arguments that could probably help my wallets not disconnecting the way they do in electrs.

It's like electrs can't keep up with the speed of things?

GREAT WORK. I also run it with localhost:50001:t so far, will try your ngix ssl solution soon.

The main reason I wanted all this with running my personal electrs etc., was to be able to use Python to create multiple wallets automatically and work with them fast, thus the private server. Normal Electrum wallet GUI starts normally and connects to localhost just fine, without any issues.

It all works fine now, I get much better speed in my project than with the public electrum servers, but there is an issue that I am 99% certain is not related to my Python programming on Electrum but it must have to do with Electrs server.

What happens is, I get (in electrs) errors like " failed to send PeriodicUpdate to peer 81: sending on a full channel" and I can see that electrs keeps disconnecting my connections to it from different wallets. It appears that there must be some more arguments that could probably help my wallets not disconnecting the way they do in electrs.

Do you know if there are, and what are they, more arguments for electrs when it starts? Like timeout args or similar?

------UPDATE------
Hi HCP, I managed to fix everything, without SSL yet, this I will try soon. electrs works fine and what was wrong was in the Python script. Thank you for your help, as it saved a lot of time and effort.

P.S. I tried porting the WSL to another system but not everything was as it should be even though the import-export works, the ported WSL wasn't starting in the same user (now it was root by default) and things like that. I just reinstalled everything to the other computer in a new WSL just to be sure.

Hi HCP and thank you for the WSL and electrs DB info,

I tried it your way and while everything was going great up to the point I installed all the prerequisites, I hit a wall:

1. I installed WSL, and in it, all that is required by electrs to run using the information here:https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/usage.md

2. When I issue the line  cargo run --release -- -vvv --timestamp --db-dir ./db --electrum-rpc-addr="127.0.0.1:50001" --daemon-dir /mnt/c/Bitcoin  while in electrs directory, I get the following output:

chameleon@DESKTOP-GALLM9T:~/electrs$ cargo run --release -- -vvv --timestamp --db-dir ./db --electrum-rpc-addr="127.0.0.1:50001" --daemon-dir /mnt/c/Bitcoin

3. I tried running my Windows bitcoind with rpcuser & rpcpassword, and also without them in the bitcoin.conf file. What is the line you use to run electrs in your WSL? It feels like it has to do with user & password but I can't get where to change what.


---------- UPDATE ------------
I used --> bitcoind -server=1 -rpcport=8332 when running bitcoind on Windows 10 and now I am getting the following in my WSL :

I guess this is what should happen? I will give it time to see how it goes and report back.

Touch down, again. I just entered the command in electrs dir and it started building.

Question... will electrs download/build its own DB now? I guess yes, but will that be about 20-30% of the bitcoin DB?

Also, how about WLS moving it to another PC? is this possible?

Thank you again HCP, will update here with progress and more info, we can all share. Your assistance is great so far.

@HCP Thank you for quick reply.

1. Can I run electrs with my current setup? That includes just Electrum and electrs installed in Ubuntu, but not bitcoin core. I can try using the shared folders of Virtual Box but I am not sure how to start electrs and use the right arguments to tell it to access bitcoin on Windows 10.

What would be the full argument line to run electrs the right way to do that?

2. I can try and work with WSL of course. It can be even better. In that case, could you please tell me what steps I need to follow? What software should I install in WSL? Also, is it possible to copy-paste (move) the full WSL installation to another Windows 10 PC? I would hate to have to do it all again and I need to have this running on 2 PCs.

HCP, again, thank you so much for bothering to get back to me that fast, I now feel I might be able to get it right with your help, if you could help with #1 and #2. All the best to you.

UPDATE: I managed to connect to my Windows 10 bitcoin datadir from within Ubuntu, after I also installed bitcoind in Ubuntu.

Now I am trying to install electrs but when I use:  cargo run --release -- -vvv --timestamp --db-dir ./db --electrum-rpc-addr="127.0.0.1:50001", I get error: could not find `Cargo.toml` in `/home/MYUSER` or any parent directory.

What is that error? I am following the instructions for electrs here: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/usage.md
What is the proper way to install and run electrs in Ubuntu? Thank you in advance!!!

Hi all. I have just set up Ubuntu running on VBOX, and installed Electrs in it. How can I run it (in VBOX, similar to WSL) and have it use Bitcoin core full node running on Windows 10, like you did? I have not installed bitcoind in Ubuntu, just on my Windows 10 as full node.

My goal is to have Electrum (running on WIN10) connect to Electrs server (running on VBOX-Ubuntu) that uses Bitcoind(running as full node on WIN10)

Thank you in advance for any help you can share.

P.S.: I just saw that you wrote: "Your point here is to undermine the progress CreditBit made with some crazy ideas so yes I completely understand you."
Since you want to hear this, I am also a Creditbit owner, and I want the best for the coin and everyone. It is YOUR messages that undermine this effort, and anyone serious and knowledgeable enough understands this. You manipulate the figures to your liking to make people believe that the value is higher than what it actually is.

I would suggest against this tactic as it is also illegal and irresponsible. Believe me; I know what I am talking. If you care about the best of Creditbit, you should present such opinions with caution and in a way that the reader sees the potential but is not "pushed" to either buy or sell any funds.

Fraudulent actions, either an official statement or just falsified and manipulated positives, will only help in holding the coin back, not move forward.
So please do not repeat accusations like I am undermining the progress or that I present crazy ideas if you want to keep this forum positive on Creditbit the right way. I believe and hope, we both want the same, it's just that we have different ways of "helping" the audience. I like things to show and be legal and tidy; you are just a bit more... enthusiastic.

Please read again my comments. I never said I (or anyone) can sell in less than a minute. I said the way you calculate 'price' can change to show extreme results, if I (or anyone) place a Sell order of that magnitude. Of course nobody can sell in a minute like this, I thought you assumed that   part and the fact that not anyone who replies is crazy.  

BTW "My point is that the more you want to buy the price goes up, which is completely logical." This is not always true. I'm sure you have witnessed huge buy volume while rates never went up if met with either legit supply or market manipulation.

All good.  ;-)

My friend, you assume someone will 'want' to buy all the Creditbits in your scenario... why do you think someone will not buy all of them in my scenario? It's all a matter of who wants to buy what, not math. If your theory is right, then mine is right and vice versa. Math, is another thing... believe me.

I just pointed out that this is not the way to calculate the value of a coin. It is not measured by how many are sellling it, as anyone can sell at any price, just like you say anyone can buy as much as one wants to buy.

According to your 'math' I would suggest that the 'price' can be better measured if the average derives from the buyers, not the sellers. On their Sum you may create various measurements. You may use them all (which again is not the best as someone can place a buy order at 0.00000001) or work with a thershold, for example all the buy orders starting from the highest all the way down to -20 percent from current bid. There is no accurate way to express the value other than current bid alone (not ask).

Anyway, I am sure you got my point.

So, if I also have (my own) 94300 Creditbits and sell them for 1 BTC each:
1. I will be on top of the Selers in order book as the highest sell order of CRBIT/BTC
2. For anyone to buy all the 188600 Creditbits, he would need 65.6 BTC (for the first 94300) PLUS 94300 BTC more for my next 94300 Creditbits.
3. This makes the 'price' per Creditbit almost $604 !!!  
4. And this can be done in less than a minute, all it takes is for me or anyone to place a Sell order for 94300 Creditbit at 1 BTC each.

Great math to prove the real 'price' of any coin... please guys, get serious.

I never used words like 'ass, ' but you obviously like doing that. As about the 'hate' you mentioned, I am sorry, but this is how I reply to any biased messages like yours. You obviously tried to make LEOcoin and the community look bad with your message, and we had enough of hate here already.

This is a forum for LEOcoin enthusiasts, and we like to share interesting & positive info and news between us. I didn't notice you saying anywhere that you know little about crypto or anything similar, but your writing suggests something is 'strange' with LEOcoin.

So next time that you have questions and seeking for knowledge try to write your message in a better way and don't get 'angry' with replies like mine. Unless of course you want to escalate your view of 'shit' (I also never mentioned that) trying to show more that this forum is shit.

Try a polite and simple style, and most here will try to provide you with answers, I'm sure.

OMG, have you ever even used a crypto explorer before? Did you ever happen to check a legit address that just NEVER received anything yet?
Do you even know what a blockchain is and how it works?

Can't believe all the things I read in this forum from people who are 'half-taught' in crypto but they think they know everything. So many 'garbage' messages around...

@btc_zero_sum Please send 0.001 LEO to that address and check again.

Come on; sure you can share just a tiny idea so you can make everyone happy! We all need positive news and no more vague promises.

Well... for one thing, LEOcoin has LEO company to support it and some 200,000+ people that already know about it. Not sure how many coins have that. To me, having any company with global presence trying to support a crypto coin, can only be a good thing and a solid base to start.

I am not happy waiting for days to get my crypto in LEOx but with all those hacking incidents in the 'big' exchanges, at least I know they won't lose my funds.
If Bitcoin had more trading in LEOx (with USD, EUR, GBP) I would trade there more.

Apart from the delay LEOx will keep providing a 'safe' and 'clean' market 24/7, this is how it feels... I only wish they can make it a bit faster  ;-)

Are you using the latest wallet version 2.1.1.0? You can get wallets from www.leocoin.org
If YES, you may try what cryptotraider16 says or just re-sync it: http://www.leocoin.org/Guides.aspx

@barrio and the sorts...

I don't get why you have to be in this forum about LEOcoin and keep talking about LEO and how bad they are all the time.
Are you guys SO MUCH devastated by them? Did they harm you somehow so much that you can't find peace and this is some sort of... revenge? Why are you always trying SO HARD to prove that they are scam and keep using phrases like: "I have emails, I have names I can throw..."etc.while you NEVER let everyone n this forum see the evidence?

If you really care about people, PLEASEEE show your proof of how bad LEO is, give us the names and produce the emails that will help everybody know if they are scam and all you guys claim.

I see foundation person is an actual person with name and 'face' now   ;-)  nut who are you??? and more so, what are the proofs you have that you so eagerly talk about all the time?
Pleaseee...... SAVE US ALL and provide everything. I will personally take serious evidence to the law if necessary.

Thank you.

OMG, this is the worst forum ever... this should be called TROLL KINDERGARTEN.
I guess you ivocoins, have full legal proof about the 20M owned by LEO F, the 50M by Dan, that LEO F is buying, and of course that Chinese botnet have what they have... right?

Pleaseee people, go and do some work and have a real life... If someone loves LEO then by all means work with them and profit if you can, if some hate LEO then why bother here? You want to save the rest because of the goodness of your heart or you just want to spill your guts???

LEOcoin is NOT owned by anyone if I am not wrong. Anyone can try his luck in the exchanges arena, if he is up to it. You like it, fine... you don't like it, leave the coin, the forum and everyone else.

Phewwwww

Hi Bario,

Quite interesting info. So in a few words if I got it right, You, xxxx and Friky conceived the idea and it was stolen? Did you have an arrangement to have part of it and got scammed? Maybe xxxxx can  join us here and tell us more in detail.

You also say Friky WAS contact inside LEO. That means he was LEO member or LEO management in UK? And why WAS?
Also who is Mihir and why would you send him your ideas just like that?

I believe most of us want to get the truth of where we should invest our money and time, so all this is necessary to be discussed in detail.

How can you expect LEO company or anyone to set a floor? Does anyone here know anything about free markets and rules of trading??
OF COURSE the users of an exchange will set the demand and supply and thus the price (rate) of anything, not a company or a person. What should a company do, keep buying everything under $5 so you, the miners, will be able to dump all your coins??? Pleaseeeeeee people, learn the basics of the market before you talk.
