how does the Electrum node aggregate your addresses to your particular wallet? is it b/c your specific request for your addy's are bundled or linked to a specific session?

AFAIK your wallet sends the addresses it wants to know the balance/transaction to the node (server), the node figures out this info and sends the balance and transactions data back to you. Your wallet (client) is the one that initially knows the addresses, which are originated from the wallet seed.

Was that your question? (I may have misinterpreted it).

i guess it was a stupid question. you send it a list of addy's you want from your specific IP (hidden or not) and then the server gathers them up and has to send the info back to your IP. thus, you wallet addy's are aggregated with total balance known. Angry

i still don't get the idea of running a personal Electrum server when you have to run a full node right beside it. is it b/c of the enhanced functionality? with Andrew Chow's HWI, my guess that Electrum's advantages are becoming much less of a distinction now?
