- Title
- wallet getbalance is slow with 3K addresses and 3M transactions
- Description
- **getbalance almost blocks bitcoin deamon on first call**
<!-- A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] -->
I think that's a pretty common use case (and the recommended practice) for bitcoin businesses: to generate a new bitcoin address any time your customer wants to deposit something. After a while wallet has thousands of addresses and millions of transactions.
After bitcoind starts, getbalance needs to be called (in case of bitcoin-qt it done in background).
Service gets stuck as it takes a lot of time (im my case 11 hours) to calculate and cache the balance.
**It would be good to cache the wallet balance in order to speed up spin-up time**
I have made wallet in testnet with 3K watch only addresses (with lot of transactions)
In total it has ~3M transactions
**Caching would help a lot**
Speed-up can bee achieved by storing m_amounts next to transaction data in the wallet DB.
**Any other ideas, recommendations are more than welcome**
