## How to connect an Electrum wallet to Umbrel-ElectrumRS
|
|
|
|
I am running an ElectrumRS server as part of my personal Umbrel node, so it
|
|
doesn't make much sense to keep my electrum wallets connected to random
|
|
electrum servers of the internet that could be spying on me, right?
|
|
|
|
These are the instructions on how to connect through the Android app. I'll try
|
|
that first:
|
|
|
|
The following are the instructions Here's how to connect Electrum Wallet (
|
|
Android) to your Umbrel
|
|
|
|
Download Orbot on your phone.
|
|
Open Orbot, tap the gear icon under "Tor-Enabled apps" and add Electrum Wallet.
|
|
Tap "STOP", restart Orbot and turn on "VPN Mode".
|
|
Start Tor by tapping the big onion icon.
|
|
Open Electrum Wallet, tap the settings icon and select "Network".
|
|
Set "Auto-connect" to OFF.
|
|
Set the "Server" setting to ***************
|
|
Congratulations! You have successfully connected Electrum Wallet to your Umbrel.
|
|
|
|
Unable to connect to Electrum Wallet (Android)? If Bitcoin Core has only
|
|
recently finished syncing, please try connecting again in ~24 hours.
|
|
|
|
Since I am a stupid user, I'm going to try it out even if the required 24 hours
|
|
have not passed. Damned users.
|
|
|
|
I followed the instructions and all went smoothly. I did an additional step:
|
|
activating the `One-server mode`, because I have kind of deduced that even if I
|
|
specified my own server, it was still connecting to others.
|
|
|
|
Now, to check that it works as intented, I'm going to do two things:
|
|
|
|
- Check live if my electrum app realises that a new block is coming in and
|
|
refreshes the number of confirmations in my last transaction live.
|
|
- It worked like a charm!
|
|
- Send a toy transaction from one of my wallets to one of the wallets I'm
|
|
watching in electrum to ensure it receives it live.
|
|
- It also worked like a charm1
|
|
|
|
Big success!
