I followed the guide but when I enter in the hostname and port from electrs into my Blue Wallet and click save - it says that tor connections are not supported.
Running Blue Wallet on my mac. I’m trying to figure out how to connect a bitcoin wallet to Bitcoin Core. Any suggestions? Thanks,
Our guides were written for the mobile wallet, so it’s possible that the desktop client does not support Tor yet. This would be a question for the BlueWallet team - if you get an answer from them, please share it here so that we can let others know, and help push for Tor support.
Team,
I believe George had tested this out and it looks as though tor is not supported for Blue Wallet on the desktop. FYI…I’ll shoot Blue a message as well and let you know the response.
Cheers,
I recently started having issues with my android mobile Bluewallet connecting to my elctrum server over Tor. I uninstalled BlueWallet and now when i go back in to point BW to my elctrum server, it says cannot connect to the server.
I’d carefully walk through this guide again just to make sure you don’t miss anything https://github.com/Start9Labs/electrs-startos/blob/master/docs/integrations/bluewallet/guide.md
Also check to see if your TOR connection is good by trying out start9’s link
http://privacy34kn4ez3y3nijweec6w4g54i3g54sdv7r5mr6soma3w4begyd.onion/
That was it…I didn’t have Orbot installed and running. Which is weird, because BW was connecting successfully without Orbot up until a few days ago so not sure what changed. In any case, your suggestion worked so thank you for that.
My electrs connection to blue wallet keeps disconnecting and going back to the suggested ones…
As Rick mentioned before, it would be worth going through the setup another time to make sure you didn’t miss any steps: https://github.com/Start9Labs/electrs-startos/blob/master/docs/integrations/bluewallet/guide.md
Please try that and also validate the Tor connection per Rick’s other link and report back if you are still having the disconnection issue.
Thanks for your answer! Yes I have gone through the process several times… it connects for a while and then it keeps disconnecting. Sometimes I go through the process, reboot the wallet and it doesn’t even connect then. Sometimes it does and then gets disconnected… Orbot working fine with “onion only” option…
I can confirm it’s not working with orbot connected using my servers hostname or with start9 server listed above.
Fwiw I am able to connect using Nunchuck.
Edit: after turning offline mode on and then off, it popped up a messaging saying connected.
