Title: Connect Electrum to 3rd Party Node? Post by: MaxDruthers on September 17, 2020, 11:54:52 PM I’m running a Bitcoin node through an Avado device. I’d like to connect the node to an Electrum wallet. The only support I could get was to “point it to your bitcoin node's RPC endpoint“. Is there any resource available for a less-than-technical but willing to learn person?

Post by: ranochigo on September 18, 2020, 12:24:50 AM Electrum runs its own proprietary server and you'll need to install their software to be able to use it. I would recommend you to install and configure your own Electrum Personal Server [1] and use it from there.
If not, there's an alternative[2]. It connects directly to your Bitcoin Core RPC but it hasn't been tested extensively yet.

You also can use ElectrumX (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx)), which is more popular option to create Electrum server. Someone also make ElectrumX installer (https://github.com/bauerj/electrumx-installer (https://github.com/bauerj/electrumx-installer)) to simplify things, but you still need to change few configuration. |
