Fork notes

plm-electrumx is a fork of spesmilo/electrumx adapted to Palladium (PLM), the coin of palladiumcore.

Starting point

• Upstream commit: 280cb339aa158e099eb936033eecd15719770651 ("Merge pull request #389 from SomberNight/202607_release_2_0", upstream release 2.0.0, 3 July 2026)

Every commit up to and including that one is unmodified upstream history. All Palladium-specific changes are made in the commits after it:

git log 280cb33..main

Updating from upstream

git remote add upstream https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx.git   # once
git config rerere.enabled true
git fetch upstream
git log main..upstream/master --oneline
git merge upstream/master

Palladium changes are kept small and localized (mainly the Palladium* classes at the end of src/electrumx/lib/coins.py) to keep these merges easy.

Palladium specifics

• Palladium Core is based on Bitcoin Core 0.19. It has no getindexinfo, txospenderindex or submitpackage, so the daemon version/index checks are disabled for COIN=Palladium, and blockchain.outpoint.subscribe and blockchain.transaction.broadcast_package return a daemon error to clients.
• The daemon must run with txindex=1.
• Same genesis blocks as Bitcoin (mainnet, testnet3, regtest), 80-byte headers, sha256d PoW, segwit.
• Parameters were taken from src/chainparams.cpp and src/chainparamsbase.cpp of palladiumcore.
