Title: Electrum wallet isn,t connecting to tor
Post by: Bitconified on January 15, 2015, 11:28:18 PM
Hi,i have used these tor nodes below in my linux(debian) command terminal ,so far i only manage to connect one time .Today i tried to connect but the following appears in the command terminal
"warning not changing server because it was passed as a command line option"
./electrum -s 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion:50001:t -p socks5:localhost:9050
./electrum -s 4lhnnupincd3gyda.onion:50001:t  -p socks5:localhost:9050
So  the warning appeared because i am connecting to my wallet on clearnet instead on tor ?
Also using which tor adresses and ports you people use to connect to your electrum wallets ?
I am using tails and every time i have to recover my wallet since tails is amnesic(short term memory) system.Is it any way to avoid recovering it every time i start my tails ?

maybe the onion server are not valid any more?
This may be the problem that you only connect one time.
Try drp4pvejybx2ejdr.onion tcp 50001 did this work?



Regarding tails (i not an tail expert):
This is not electrum specific, but if you start this from an USB Pen you can store on this USB an persistent volume where your home directory is stored.
Electrum should store it's configuration there.

I tested this address right now. looks ok..
what is not working?
Looks that this server sometimes lags 1 or 2 blocks but after some minutes it's ok again
