After a quick trip to PubKey NYC I've been back on the electrum interface for the last couple days. I had some discussion with Electrum folks and decided to drop in the major additions for their WIP on network protocol v1.7. Also spent a couple days working of some test and organizational backlog. That's complete now, as is the database queries and endpoint implementation for the address queries (balance, history, mempool, listunspent). These are addressable via p2pkh/p2sh addresses (only) in early versions, via output script hash in current versions, and via output script in the next version. We just map all three on to output script hash. The new outpoint method is mostly complete, and this adds a subscriber. There are also subscribers for the three address methods above. Most of the work for those is done. That and connection of the fee estimator to its method, and the electrum interface will be complete.
