I am new and not used to desktopless computing. After seting up the node and installing Electrs, I want to install a Sparrow wallet. I have downloaded it, but I can’t tell how to open it to create a new wallet. Also, Sparrow does not show in the Marketplace tab?
There are two way to use Sparrow Wallet:
- The usual situation is using Sparrow Wallet installed on your PC and connected to your Bitcoin Core node by using one of these guides:
Connect Sparrow directly to your Bitcoin Core
OPTIONAL (but less reliable) – Connect Sparrow to Electrs via Tor
- Running Sparrow Wallet on your server (From the Community Registry). This is considered a “Hot Wallet” and is not recommended for standard everyday use.
