- Language: Python
-
The server indexes UTXOs by address, in a Patricia tree structure described by Alan Reiner (see the 'ultimate blockchain compression' thread in the Bitcointalk forum)
-
The server requires batacoind, leveldb and plyvel
-
The server code is open source. Anyone can run a server, removing single points of failure concerns.
-
The server knows which set of BataCoin addresses belong to the same wallet, which might raise concerns about anonymity. However, the client is capable of using several servers.
-
To install and run a server, see INSTALL. For greater detail on the installation process, see HOWTO.md.
-
To start and stop the server, use the 'electrum-bta-server' script
