Startup API flood

[nikooo777]

The Issue

When starting the application, the API gets flooded to oblivion and never really starts. The console output suggests that there might be at least one race condition causing calls to be replayed more than once. Also no timeout between checks seems to be present.

Steps to reproduce

1. make sure no daemon is running
2. start LBRY
3. cry a little

Expected behaviour

LBRY app should open

Actual behaviour

The daemon never actually starts and the app will fail to load

System Configuration

{
  "id": null,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "build": "release",
    "ip": "*************",
    "lbrynet_version": "0.10.3",
    "lbryschema_version": "0.0.4",

    "processor": "x86_64",

  }
}

let me add one thing i just noticed:

after hitting close, a daemon appears to start

niko@niko-T440p:~/lbry$ ps x | grep lbry
21618 ?        Sl     0:03 /opt/LBRY/lbry
21622 ?        S      0:00 /opt/LBRY/lbry --type=zygote --no-sandbox
22346 ?        S      0:00 /opt/LBRY/resources/app/dist/lbrynet-daemon
22348 ?        Sl     0:00 /opt/LBRY/resources/app/dist/lbrynet-daemon
