is_synchronized return false for large wallets

[bsbits]

Hello,

I have a wallet with 100K addresses.

I use electrum on linux via command line, I start the deamon and load the wallet.

whenever I check that specific wallet, it says the wallet is not synchronized.

that's normal. Electrum servers have anti DOS protection, they will not let you request 100K addresses.

What is the solution for my case then ?

What is the max amount of addresses electrum servers support ?

[bauerj]

That depends on the server.

what is the use case? how did you create the wallet?
the solutions are either to run your own private electrum server, or to create a smaller wallet.
you could also bribe a server operator so that they whitelist you.

The use case is using electrum wallet to process (receive / sign / broadcast) lots of transactions.

creating smaller wallets will be a pain to manage, I would end up with hundred of wallets and operate them simultaneously will take all my time.

I will attempt running my own electrumx and update you, can you paste a link to the config where I can allow unlimited requests ?

[ecdsa]

you should ask in the electrumx project for the config

    self.max_send = self.integer('MAX_SEND', 1000000)
    self.max_subs = self.integer('MAX_SUBS', 250000)
    self.max_session_subs = self.integer('MAX_SESSION_SUBS', 50000)
    self.bandwidth_limit = self.integer('BANDWIDTH_LIMIT', 2000000)

These are the environment variables pertaining to anti-DOS for electrumX and their defaults.

You can install and then set up the service with much higher limits.
