You'll need an Electrum server for that.
Since it's on the same machine and you'll probably use it for personal use only, your best choice would be Electrs.
Thanks. I'll check it out.
I see (as I'm a Slackware user) that there's a SlackBuild for it.

How do I tell Electrum to connect to my local Bitcoin Core full-node?

When I choose “Connect only to a single server” and put in the address and port of my Bitcoin Core full node (127.0.0.1:8333), it doesn’t connect:

Can Electrum be configured to connect to Bitcoin Cash network, or any other networks, like testnet? Core can connect to testnet.

Financial censorship?
by

on 21/04/2025, 22:03:54 UTC
What are some cases of financial censorship? Who is an expert in studying financial censorship?

I can think of:
  • David Irving, holohoax critic & Hitler biographer (credit card)
  • Canada truckers convey (frozen bank accounts)
  • WikiLeaks

But what are other cases? I'm sure smaller cases are very prevalent, but who is documenting and exposing them?

Reversible computing is the future. (Quantum computing is only one type of reversible computing.)
Vaire Computing is developing reversible chips.
Good overview of reversible computing:

The issue was that I had protobuf 3.19.6 installed locally (with pip) and protobuf 29.3 installed globally. I removed the local, pip-installed version, and Electrum now works.

Code:
[code]Error: could not find paymentrequest_pb2.py. Create it with 'contrib/generate_payreqpb2.sh'
[/code]
How do I fix this? I tried running
Code:
generate_payreqpb2.sh
, but I don’t know if it created any files or put them in the right place. Can someone please explain this?

One objection to Bitcoin is that criminals use it; but, besides Silk Road, what illegal operations have been proven to use bitcoin?

Dear Bitwage Community,
The cryptocurrency sector has been facing challenges due to increasing regulatory pressure on the US banking industry, in what many are calling “Operation Chokepoint 2.0”. This pressure has come in the form of SEC Wells Notices, closed-door conversations between regulators and banks, and restricting direct access from crypto-friendly banks to the Federal Reserve. In our commitment to providing you with the highest quality service, we have worked diligently to maintain stable banking relationships amidst this industry crackdown.

🇸🇻's largest mining farm is powered by volcano energy; it provides ¼ 🇸🇻's hashpower.

But are there any mining farms in the 🌎 powered by nuclear microreactors ☢️?
