Error loading address data.
*There are too many transactions on this address, more than your backend can handle. See more on [setting up a stronger backend]

Hi,

Where exactly are you seeing this error? What were you doing when you saw this error appear? Are all of your other services on your server functioning correctly with Green Health Checks, especially the ones that are dependencies for Mempool (Bitcoin Core & electrs)?

Hi Matt1,

It looks like this is a known issue with mempool/electrs. Mempool/electrs is a common choice for its low resource requirements, and most full-node distros use it. While this implementation works great for basic queries, it will struggle with queries to look up addresses with many transactions—especially when run on low-power hardware. You would need to research how to set up a “production” installation. Unfortunately, this is out of scope for StartOS at the moment.

I am also a ‘newbie’ and have just experienced the same issue. When you say it is not within scope for StartOS, does that mean it is not on the development roadmap at all?

I did manage to use mempool.space to conclude my investigations, but obviously, it would be preferable to do this kind of investigation on my own node.

Start9 aren’t the developers of Mempool. Feature requests and bug reports should go to them.

What might be more in our ballpark, or at least in coordination with Mempool, is some future Fulcrum dependency. But that’s a separate discussion.

Thanks for that response StuPleb. I’ll keep monitoring this post ‘just in case’ :grimacing:
