Re: Electrum personal server is out of date quite a bit.

Yes, that's a bit old based on their GitHub activity why not switch to other Electrum server?
There are 3 alternative options that I know ElectrumX, Electrs, and Fulcrum servers.

If you are looking for guides check the links below

- ElectrumX How To
- Electrs installation guide
- Electrum server on Windows: Fulcrum

Actually years ago I once tried ElectrumX before but my old laptop's pathetic hardware seems insufficient for it. Thus I turned to EPS then.

I may tried Electrs later.

Time to move on to other substitutions maybe.

Heads-up, those other Electrum server implementations aren't as "lightweight" as EPS.
If you're looking for similar implementation, Sparrow wallet has a very similar approach to connect to Bitcoin Core but supports descriptor wallet.
That's if you're open to switch from Electrum to Sparrow.

In case someone is interested to merge EPS to Electrum,
Please consider replying to this issue (posted by the dev himself): Fix EPS and build it into Electrum #8142

I notice that Sparrow wallet doesn't come with an android version while Electrum does.
Could I use an Electrum installed android phone to sign transactions generated by sparrow watch-only wallet?
