Title: electrum personal server btc core and sparrow
Post by: futurefreedom86 on February 03, 2024, 01:55:24 AM
i have btc core running fine but i do not have incoming traffic enabled. i believe i have electrum personal server running correctly. when i try to connect sparrow to the server i cant connect everything is on the same machine. i am not sure what i am missing. also i am not really a coder or ultra wizard with computer port settings and such. hopefully someone out there can lead me to something i haven't tried . (i am tiring to do it all over tor so maybe thats the problem?)

when i run the server it shows me the 3 address for each wallet i put in the config file and then doesn't do anything else. how do i tell if it is talking to my node correctly?

sparrow connects to the local node just fine but when i try to the personal server it never connects.

i am using chris belcher/electrum server downloaded on windows 10

If that was shown, it successfully imported the xpub/addrs to the 'wallet_filename' you set in the config.ini file.

In the instructions provided in the repo, it says that you should run in for the second time for it to start listening for client(s).
Here's the specific step: github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L104-L115 (https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/blob/c28a90f366039bc23a01a048348c0cee84b710c4/README.md?plain=1#L104-L115)

But take note that there's an issue with their default SSL certificate (probably expired)
so you may have to create your own using the provided instructions in the "config.ini_sample" under "#SSL Certificate".
