 An efficient re-implementation of Electrum Server, inspired by [ElectrumX](https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx), [Electrum Personal Server](https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server) and [bitcoincore-indexd](https://github.com/jonasschnelli/bitcoincore-indexd).

+The motivation behind this project is to enable a user to self host an Electrum server,
 with required hardware resources not much beyond those of a [full node](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Full_node#Why_should_you_use_a_full_node_wallet).
 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](https://electrum.org/).
