Fork notes

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

Starting point

The first commit of this repository is an unmodified snapshot of upstream spesmilo/electrumx at commit 280cb339aa158e099eb936033eecd15719770651 ("Merge pull request #389 from SomberNight/202607_release_2_0", upstream release 2.0.0, 3 July 2026). The upstream history itself is not included. All Palladium-specific changes are in the commits after it:

git log --reverse

Updating from upstream

There is no common git history with upstream, so git merge does not work. Apply the upstream changes since the snapshot as a patch instead:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx.git   # once
git fetch upstream
git log 280cb33..upstream/master --oneline                          # what changed upstream
git diff 280cb33 upstream/master | git apply --3way

Conflicts in files this fork deleted (see below) are resolved by keeping them deleted. After an update, replace 280cb33 above with the new upstream commit that was applied.

Removed from upstream

All other coins: their classes in coins.py, their transaction deserializers (lib/tx.py, tx_dash.py, tx_axe.py), the session/daemon/block-processor subclasses only they used, their tests and fixtures, and the altcoin pip extras. Bitcoin was folded into Palladium. When merging upstream, resolve modify/delete conflicts on these files by keeping them deleted.

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.
