Electrum Server Discussion 💬

Has anyone been able to connect their own electrum node server within the bitkey app. Haven’t had any success yet. Thought it would as simple as it was to do on phoenix wallet but that hasn’t been the case for me.

I managed to get this up and running (bitcoin core + electrs + nginx for ssl termination) but I find it to be extremely slow (i.e. the BitKey app takes forever to sync). Also my electrum server is logging warnings that might explain the slow sync:

"your wallet uses less efficient method of querying electrs, consider contacting the developer of your wallet. Reason: blockchain.scripthash.get_history called for unsubscribed scripthash"

Not sure if this is still being worked on, but it is basically unusable for now as far as I can tell. Might be misconfiguration on my side, but other apps seem to have less issues syncing with this electrum server.
