Electrs V 0. 10. 8 for Sparrow

Desperate_Rookie · January 8, 2025, 4:49pm

Whats up? Since last update [today] Sparrow it’s not working. There is a message, everything has changed. Please, what should we adjust in this case?

??

Completely new.

And I mean “Desktop-Wallets” not “Server-wallets”.

Honestly, people: No advice on how to handle this during the update.
Please be more coherence with this.

Server preferences are not doing anything. Writing a number in the “Proxy URL” field is what could help in this case. What this entails and where to get the number from is the intriguing question after this recent Bitcoin Core update on SO (Server One)

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Electrs. This will take a while. Then I will set up the Sparrow-desktop app again. But this is honestly driving me crazy!

Hello. Any suggestions? Surely there are some of you around who are facing this situation.

I don’t see any indication here that a re-installation of electrs was necessary. But since you have, once the health checks for electrs are both green, you’ll need to follow the Sparrow setup guide again, as the .onion address may have changes.

I have started the re-installation because of the malfunction after the recent Bitcoin-Core update.

Desperate_Rookie · January 8, 2025, 5:35pm

It’s loading now. It’s at 35% after I uninstalled and reinstalled it (Electrs). But only because Sparrow-Desktop started crashing after the update.

Desperate_Rookie · January 8, 2025, 5:37pm

It’s caching up blocks (36%) now.

Desperate_Rookie · January 8, 2025, 5:43pm

I’m doing everything via Tor.

40% now. An unexpected effort after the recent Bitcoin Core update. In addition to this, it took 40 minutes after saving the configuration, without anything happening, to perform a restart on the entire Server One system.
