On a Mac it’s here (notice the “.” before “electrum”):Ī simple way on a Mac or Linux would be to open terminal and type:Ĭ:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\Certs This is how, and do note, everything is case sensitive… Find it and delete the thing, then restart Electrum. Within that hidden directory, there’s a directory caller “certs”. The solution to this is to shut down Electrum first, and then look for the hidden electrum directory where the wallets are kept. There is another pitfall that occurs when you change your node’s network settings – sometimes Electrum does not connect even though you are entering the network settings in Electrum absolutely accurately. Decide if your VPN is going to be on or off and leave it.You won’t go wrong if you do what I said earlier (in order!). This I know is a little confusing and hard to explain all the combinations. The solution is the old “turn it off and on again trick” – not the whole computer, just Electrum. I suspect many Bitcoiners have at some point turned off their VPN to connect to their node on their home network, and have not been able to connect. The VPN issue exists with Electrum whether you use Tor or not. You need to restart Electrum to refresh it, so that it notices the new network.
Also, if you change your Tor session, or toggle your VPN on or off, Electrum will freak out and will lose connection. You’ll need to restart Tor completely each time you change the VPN status. With Electrum running, if you run Tor first, and then if you switch on (or off) your VPN, you’ll run into problems with connecting Electrum to your node.
VERGE ELECTRUM WALLET INSTALL
Just go to and download then install the browser. I’ve tried the command line way but I didn’t take notes while doing it, so can’t add it to the guide, and there’s no need anyway. You can either go “full hacker mode” with command line Tor, or just download the browser (much easier). We need Tor on the computer that runs Electrum Desktop Wallet, not your node. Important stuff to know, more important than connecting Electrum to Tor. Here’s an article with links to videos, to explain some features of Electrum. You don’t lose any privacy connecting your computer to your own node on the same network. You really should do this first before embarking on Tor connections. Here’s an article I wrote (includes video) of setting up Electrum and connecting it to your own node via your home network. Step 2: Get Electrum and learn to use it.
VERGE ELECTRUM WALLET FREE
(RaspiBlitz is less beautiful and smooth, but it’s completely free open-source software.) Some people like Umbrel, but it’s got more restrictions and further away from FOSS (Free open-source software). You can alternatively (or better, additionally) run a RaspiBlitz node, but you’ll have to adapt the further instructions in this guide to that system. It’s easy and beautiful, and I have a guide. I suggest a Bitcoin node with the MyNode package. Step 1: Run a node, run a node, run a KNOWDE! There’s no information about your wallets, or how your wallets access the node. The worst that can come of it is that someone might be able to figure out that your IP address runs a Bitcoin node. Running a node on your home network is already plenty private. The alternative is usually to let them connect to a public node (not great), as many newbies are not in the frame of mind to be running a node straight away. You can be an Uncle Jim node, connecting your family and friends to your node, so you don’t necessarily have to help each of the people you Orange Pill, to start with a node.(There are probably other much harder ways with port forwarding, but I’m never going there). you don’t need to be in range of your home network. You can connect to your node even if you are not home.Two huge advantages of connecting to your node via Tor… I think I’ve figured out (maybe) all the potential problems and now I can finally write this guide. Even if you do, you may later occasionally fail, and it’s not obvious why. This has so many pitfalls that it’s incredible if you manage to connect first shot without running into trouble. For most people there’s always going to be errors. There are so many steps, so much can go wrong, and so much background knowledge is required to avoid having a bad time. Connecting your Electrum Desktop Wallet to your own Node is a massive achievement.
