The new server stores a Patrica tree of all UTXOs, an idea proposed by Alan Reiner in the bitcointalk forum. This property allows the client to directly request the balance of any address. The new commands are: 1. getaddressbalance <address> 2. getaddressunspent <address> 3. getutxoaddress <txid> <pos> * In addition, two commands for message encryption were added: 1. encrypt <pubkey> <message> 2. decrypt <pubkey> <message> The encryption algorithm is ECIES, and code was was borrowed from https://github.com/jackjack-jj/jeeq. In order to know the public key corresponding to a Bitcoin address in your wallet, you can use the 'getpubkeys' command. The 'decrypt' command assumes that the wallet has the private key corresponding to the public key passed as argument. * The encrypt and decrypt functions are available in the Qt GUI (from the menubar, or right click on one of your addresses if you want to use its public key). * Command-line commands that require a connection to the network spawn a daemon, that remains connected and handles subsequent commands. The daemon terminates itself if it remains unused for more than one minute. The purpose of this is to make scripting more efficient. For example, a bash script using many electrum commands will open only one connection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
