Scribe maintains a rocksdb database containing the [LBRY blockchain](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd) and provides an interface for python based services that utilize the blockchain data in an ongoing manner. Scribe includes implementations of this interface to provide an electrum server for thin-wallet clients (such as lbry-sdk) and to maintain an elasticsearch database of metadata for claims in the LBRY blockchain.

## Usage
Scribe needs either the [lbrycrd](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd) or [lbcd](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd) blockchain daemon to be running.
As of block 1124663 (3/10/22) the size of the rocksdb database is 87GB and the size of the elasticsearch volume is 49GB.
To start scribe, run the following (providing your own args)
```
scribe --db_dir /your/db/path --daemon_url rpcuser:rpcpass@localhost:9245
```
