[Electrum] Tor service at 4lhnnupincd3gyda.onion:50001

[stepkrav]

Which Tor Electrum still works? The only one that I can connect to is 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion, and even that one only says "Syncrhonizing" and hasn't yet.

I am using 1.73.

it works well for me.

Server : TCP 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion 50001

Proxy : SOCKS5 localhost 9050  <-- the port tor daemon listens to.

I'm using 1.7.4 but i don't think that it matters.

Yes, thank you. It was really just synchronizing, but I don't know what that means since electrum doesn't store a local block chain.

BTW, on the new Tor portables the daemon listens on 9150.

Can anyone confirm .onion addresses currently working as electrum servers?

I've got electrum using TOR as a PROXY fine (SOCKS5, localhost,9150), but none of the .onion nodes in this thread seem to connect for me.

I am running Electrum OSX 1.9.7

What protocol should it be (TCP,HTTP,SSL,HTTPS)?

(And yes, I put new settings in, quit, and restart, which gets the PROXY working but I haven't managed to connect to a .onion TOR service at all)

thanks,

Hm, strange. 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion is up, but I can't connect to it. Haven't got much time to track the problem at the moment, but will update as soon as possible.

[throwawaylol2]

I had 5 onion addresses for electrum from a few months ago. None of them work for me now. Anyone have a working address?

[stepkrav]

I did set up the server from scratch. I'm using the newest db verstion. I've also setup the hidden service, and seems to work. Check it out : TCP : 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion:50001

hmmm .... still not working  for me, but its ok, just wanted to 'try it out'

[stepkrav]

I tried with both version 1.9.8 and version 2.0 of electrum client, on Linux. And it works. Can someone else check to help us track the problem?

I'm still on 1.9.7. Will wait for 1.9.8 binary release on OSX and try again. Be useful to know if other OSX users have it working already on 1.9.7

[stepkrav]

Still connects with 1.9.7 on Linux.

One point worth noticing : since some time now (don't remember version), electrum client doesn't connect to a single server, but to more. That's for getting block headers and notify the user if a certain server lags some blocks. In that context I don't know if it worths connecting to a hidden service, since your client will further connect to different "normal" nodes.

Observe :

./electrum -v
electrum directory /home/stepkrav/.electrum
blocks: 290884
wallet path /home/stepkrav/.electrum/wallets/default_wallet

synchronizer: connected to 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion:50001:t
Notifying GUI

Of course your subscriptions will be sent to the hidden service you selected. Don't know. I guess it depends on your threat model.

thanks for the good info. so far, Electrum 1.9.8 works with <uname -a>
Linux amnesia 3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.9-1 (2014-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux

56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion is pretty reliable, haven't tried many so far. the -v switch is very helpful, if it doesn't try to sync within 60 seconds, best to Ctl-C and try again.

i see that it does try to talk to others.

[jackjjohnson]

Today, neither 4lhnnupincd3gyda.onion or 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion seem to be working. 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion was working about 18hours ago.

Edit: 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion is working now.

Solution?
1) How can you strictly use only ".onion" servers?
2) Can you use multiple .onion servers simultaneously? By default, you can only enter one in the box.
3) Can you disable the "normal" servers somehow?

[mr_burdell]

If you use the -1 (number one) flag, it should only try to connect to 1 server.

Also, I have a server that should be running on this address: electrumupzx5w5f.onion

Let me know if it's not working, I think it may have been unresponsive on tor for the last week or two.

Edit, also you should probably turn off the exchange rate plugin to remain truly anonymous.  Since the exchange rate plugin queries several api's depending on the currency.

[jackjjohnson]

Thanks for the tip on the -1 switch. Sure enough, there it was in electrum -h.

I can't seem to operate on electrumupzx5w5f.onion  I get a synced message:

synchronizer: connected to electrumupzx5w5f.onion:50001:

But it never seems to connect. It looks like if I don't get a 'synchronizing' message in lower left corner of 1.9.8, and a swirly icon on the right, it never will connect. It can take some time synching chunks, but it needs that message before it will ever happen. the -v switch is my friend! Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi

All Servers in this Thread are down. I got no connect. Last month all fine but now all dead. Using electrum 1.9.8 works fine with listet normal servers. 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion electrumupzx5w5f.onion don´t work.

[jackjjohnson]

56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion is working for me today, fully synched.

[mr_burdell]

looks like electrumupzx5w5f.onion was down for a while. I think my tor daemon quit and I don't have a monitor on it. It should be up now and I'll try to find a way to monitor if it goes down so I can restart it.

[jackjjohnson]

Is 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion down now? I can connect, but can't seem to sync.

[jackjjohnson]

Any of these working, or any others?
