ServerProxy does not seem to be thread-safe.
For e.g. a 2of3 multisig wallet, which would send two messages,
one msg would get sent but the other might error out. See trace:
E | plugins.cosigner_pool.qt.Plugin | on_failure

Getting started
===============
(*If you've come here looking to simply run Electrum,* `you may download it here`_.)
.. _you may download it here: https://electrum.org/#download
Electrum itself is pure Python, and so are most of the required dependencies,
but not everything. The following sections describe how to run from source, but here
is a TL;DR::
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0
python3 -m pip install --user .[gui,crypto]
Not pure-python dependencies
----------------------------
If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies::
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
For elliptic curve operations, `libsecp256k1`_ is a required dependency::
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0
Alternatively, when running from a cloned repository, a script is provided to build
libsecp256k1 yourself::
sudo apt-get install automake libtool
./contrib/make_libsecp256k1.sh
Due to the need for fast symmetric ciphers, either one of `pycryptodomex`_
or `cryptography`_ is required. Install from your package manager
(or from pip)::
sudo apt-get install python3-cryptography
If you would like hardware wallet support, see `this`_.
.. _libsecp256k1: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1
.. _pycryptodomex: https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome
.. _cryptography: https://github.com/pyca/cryptography
.. _this: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-docs/blob/master/hardware-linux.rst
Running from tar.gz
-------------------
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run
Electrum from its root directory without installing it on your
system; all the pure python dependencies are included in the 'packages'
directory. To run Electrum from its root directory, just do::
./run_electrum
You can also install Electrum on your system, by running this command::
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip
python3 -m pip install --user .
This will download and install the Python dependencies used by
Electrum instead of using the 'packages' directory.
It will also place an executable named :code:`electrum` in :code:`~/.local/bin`,
so make sure that is on your :code:`PATH` variable.
Development version (git clone)
-------------------------------
Check out the code from GitHub::
git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
cd electrum
git submodule update --init
Run install (this should install dependencies)::
python3 -m pip install --user -e .
Create translations (optional)::
sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext
./contrib/pull_locale
Finally, to start Electrum::
./run_electrum
