Title: Taproot in Electrum Post by: Jason Brendon on May 01, 2024, 06:30:16 AM I wanted to ask if Electrum allows to generating p2tr addresses. (i don't mind using the console).
Let me know. Title: Re: Taproot in Electrum Post by: Charles-Tim on May 01, 2024, 06:31:36 AM No. As for the recent update, Electrum do not still support generation of pay-to-taproot-address. But you can send coins to and receive from taproot addresses on Electrum.

Looking at the changelog[1] It doesn't seem like they support it outside of Bitbox. If you want Taproot support you can check this article[2] which has the list of all wallets that support it. I would go with either Sparrow for desktop, or Unstoppable if you're looking for a mobile solution.

(i don't mind using the console). Not until descriptors is implemented.The good news is some of the requirements to implement TapRoot are already in the master branch of Electrum's GitHub repo. But it doesn't have a specified version in their "Milestones" (TODO List) so it may not be released in v4.5.5. You can monitor their "TODO list" here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/milestones (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/milestones) Check if "TapRoot Support" in backlog will be moved to v4.6.0 or any future version. The closest thing that you can do now is: you can create a watching-only "imported" Electrum wallet by importing TapRoot addresses from other wallets.

Import and export Electrum wallet. I typically don't like bitcoin software that's too big or too complex or too capable of handling too many things. I like it as simple as it can possibly be. And I don't like JAVA shit. Title: Re: Taproot in Electrum Post by: ABCbits on May 02, 2024, 09:32:54 AM Would you change your mind if you know Sparrow Wallet have these feature? 1.

I like it as simple as it can possibly be. And I don't like JAVA shit. In this case, i only can either say wait until Electrum support Taproot or check other relevant wallet listed on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5371499.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5371499.0). And unless you prefer compile wallet from source code (rather than download binary), i don't understand why you bring up Java.

No, but you can check out alternative Sparrow wallet that supports taproot addresses, if you need it for desktop OS.Let me know. This a decent open source wallet and it has some advantages compared to Electrum, there are pros and cons like always. I also made a list of all wallets that currently support Taoroot: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5371499.0 |
