Still connects with 1.9.7 on Linux.

One point worth noticing : since some time now (don't remember version), electrum client doesn't connect to a single server, but to more. That's for getting block headers and notify the user if a certain server lags some blocks. In that context I don't know if it worths connecting to a hidden service, since your client will further connect to different "normal" nodes.

Observe :

Of course your subscriptions will be sent to the hidden service you selected. Don't know. I guess it depends on your threat model.

I tried with both version 1.9.8 and version 2.0 of electrum client, on Linux. And it works. Can someone else check to help us track the problem?

I'm still on 1.9.7. Will wait for 1.9.8 binary release on OSX and try again. Be useful to know if other OSX users have it working already on 1.9.7

I did set up the server from scratch. I'm using the newest db verstion. I've also setup the hidden service, and seems to work. Check it out : TCP : 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion:50001

hmmm .... still not working for me, but its ok, just wanted to 'try it out'

I had 5 onion addresses for electrum from a few months ago. None of them work for me now. Anyone have a working address?

Hm, strange. 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion is up, but I can't connect to it. Haven't got much time to track the problem at the moment, but will update as soon as possible.

Can anyone confirm .onion addresses currently working as electrum servers?

I've got electrum using TOR as a PROXY fine (SOCKS5, localhost,9150), but none of the .onion nodes in this thread seem to connect for me.

I am running Electrum OSX 1.9.7

What protocol should it be (TCP,HTTP,SSL,HTTPS)?

(And yes, I put new settings in, quit, and restart, which gets the PROXY working but I haven't managed to connect to a .onion TOR service at all)

thanks,

Which Tor Electrum still works? The only one that I can connect to is 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion, and even that one only says "Syncrhonizing" and hasn't yet.

I am using 1.73.

it works well for me.

Yes, thank you. It was really just synchronizing, but I don't know what that means since electrum doesn't store a local block chain.

BTW, on the new Tor portables the daemon listens on 9150.

Server : TCP 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion 50001

Proxy : SOCKS5 localhost 9050 <-- the port tor daemon listens to.

I'm using 1.7.4 but i don't think that it matters.

I'll see whether I can set up some monitoring for the .onion addresses...

So whats the difference between connecting to a hidden service and connecting to a default server over SSL/HTTPS via tor?

When connecting to a hidden service, the connection never leaves the Tor network.

Is your hidden service down?

I just put one up at "k3m4jg4irk7duq2q.onion" and was trying to use yours to test. It's running on a small ec2 instance.

"electrum -p socks5:localhost:9050" doesn't work for me.
gives : electrum: error: no such option: -p Undecided

Are you using latest electrum?

electrum/precise uptodate 1.0

Unless I didn't hear of an update to available Ubuntu packages I don't think they currently have the latest version.

You would have to install from github using the master branch.
On this page,

http://electrum-desktop.com/download.html

You should follow the "build from source" instructions. It looks more complicated but should only takes a minute or less. It uses "git clone" to pull from the current master branch.
