Although we recommend that individual users set up their own Electrum server, you can also use the official Blockstream Electrum server if you prefer, and the table below contains details of the connection. The server operates on the same principle as Blockstream Explorer: no logs, no traceability, and Tor support.

Cryptocurrencies Wallet Electrum has lost nearly 250 bitcoins (approximately $914,000) as a result of the new phishing attack. Electrum has confirmed the authenticity of the attack. An attacker could induce a user to provide password information by creating a fake wallet.

Electrum Wallet is one of the most popular Bitcoin wallets and has been around for several years. However, Electrum wallet users often rely on electrum servers, which presents some security and privacy trade-offs. If you use an Electrum personal server, Electrum wallet users can connect locally to their own private servers, enjoying the convenience of Electrum without any trade-offs.

Earlier this month, Electrum detected a DoS attack on its network, allegedly launched by a malicious botnet with more than 140,000 machines, designed to provide Electrum to users.

This step is relatively simple, only need to download and install the Electrum wallet on another Internet-connected computer.

As mentioned earlier, because electrum light wallets are different from Bitcoin light wallets such as MultiBit or Breadwallet, they cannot communicate directly with bitcoin full nodes and can only communicate with electrum.

Lesson 1: Third-party Electrum servers can link your two transactions together. This can be avoided by running your own Electrum server, supported by your own full node.

Passphrase whispers are words or sentences set by the user themselves, different from the initial mishap phrases that Trezor hardware wallets automatically generate on first use - words randomly selected by algorithms in the standard thesamile under the BIP39 protocol, Trezor one-24 words, Trezor Model T-12 words.

A clone site masquerading as an Electrum SV wallet has emerged. The cloning site has nothing to do with electrum SV and is designed to steal tokens and create chaos in the BSV community.

Tor Onion Route: In 1995, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) launched the Onion Route project, or Tor, to secure ship communications. The principle of "distributed mechanism" is as follows: each terminal installing Tor can be turned into an encrypted node, using Tor to access the "dark web" path each time randomly through multiple nodes, connection traces can not be mastered. If the service side does not record user usage information, and the client does not enter real personal data, tor can achieve full anonymity of the Internet.
