An efficient re-implementation of Electrum Server in Rust

[MrNayda]

So, try this:

Code:

cargo run --release -- -vvv --timestamp --db-dir ./db --daemon-dir /mnt/HDD/ --electrum-rpc-addr="127.0.0.1:50001" --cookie-file /home/user/.bitcoin/.cookie

It worked! Electrs is up & running, financial self-sovereignty is within very close reach. Yes my apologies, I meant to refer to electrs not Electrum in my previous comment - rookie mistake.

As a non-techie noob I'm blown away by this world of open source development & the remarkable minds working together to make it all happen.

HCP Sir, a MASSIVE thank you for walking me through this. Means a lot. Hope to be able to contribute in some way myself in future.

Unable to get Electrum wallet to connect to electrs

Unsure if this is the right thread to ask this, however I couldn't find a thread that related to this issue so here goes -

Have electrs running (confirmed with: sudo systemctl status electrs). Have installed Electrum wallet, & edited the electrum.desktop file as follows to connect to localhost -

Code:

Exec=sh -c "PATH=\"\\$HOME/.local/bin:\\$PATH\"; electrum --oneserver --server localhost:50001:t %u"

Network Server tab in Electrum wallet shows "Server: localhost 50001" & all other servers greyed out, however within Network Overview,  Status: shows "Not connected" & Server: shows "None"

Perhaps there are config edits I need to make elsewhere for Electrum to connect to electrs?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Are you running electrs as a background process or are you running it in a terminal window and can see all of it's debug output?

When you run Electrum, do you see any notifications in the electrs output that shows any connection attempts? You might also want to run manually running Electrum from a terminal with the 'debug' option (-v) to see why it isn't able to connection.

There is also an option in Electrum to log to disk: Tools menu > Preferences > General tab, and tick "Write logs to file"
