Title: How do I manually set the server in the command line?
Post by: LightningFire on January 12, 2014, 06:28:59 PM
I need to change my server and I am unable to do so through the client(the green light doesn't open the connections window). I think this is because I manually opened a wallet with the -w command. Is there a similar command that can be used to set the server?

Here's an example, from the Tails docs (https://tails.boum.org/forum/Report:_the_electrum_bitcoin_client_in_tails/), about how to set your server and a proxy:

./electrum -s 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion:50001:t -p socks5:localhost:9050
