Looking for Help / Full Node + Electrs + Tor

[BitcoinNeedHelp]

I have a quick question for you friends.

Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to set up a full node with Electrs + Tor on Windows?

I can't find anything about it.....

Sorry it is not really the answer to your question, but in my opinion, the best solution would be a RPI 4 with Raspiblitz :

https://openoms.github.io/bitcoin-tutorials/electrs/Tor_Hidden_Service_for_Electrs.html

Windows is not safe, offers low privacy features, is not open source and is not as stable as a Linux distribution in general (for example : mandatory updates, BSOD and other Microsoft shit)

I can't find any either, probably because it's more inconvenient than installing it in other platforms.

Anyway, for building Electrs: This might work (but as a disclaimer, I haven't fully tested this):

• Install Rust and its dependencies, you can download it from: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started
• Download the latest release of Electrs from: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/releases
• Extract it somewhere, e.g.: in C:\Rust\electrs-0.9.12
• Open your "Command Prompt" and CD to that directory.
• Then run the command: cargo build --locked --release --no-default-features
  
  

You should see something like this in the command prompt window:

info: syncing channel updates for '1.48.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc'
info: latest update on 2020-11-19, rust version 1.48.0 (7eac88abb 2020-11-16)
info: downloading component 'cargo'

If nothing went wrong, it should be able to build Electrs.
If it failed to build, post the error that you got and maybe some other users can help or check the documentation for possible missing dependencies.

Setting Tor with Electrs should be similar with other OS, just refer to their documentation: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/tree/master/doc
