I have a Raspibolt node running using TOR. Raspibolt has the following configuration for bitcoind. Compare to yours.

Code:

# RaspiBolt: bitcoind configuration
# /mnt/ext/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

# Bitcoin daemon
server=1
txindex=1

# Network
listen=1
listenonion=1
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
bind=127.0.0.1

# Connections
rpcuser=raspibolt
rpcpassword=PASSWORD_[B]
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28333

# Raspberry Pi optimizations
maxconnections=40
maxuploadtarget=5000

# Initial block download optimizations
dbcache=2000
blocksonly=1

Also, why run both Bitcoin Core and Electrum on the RPi? I run Electrs on the RPi, which allows me to run electrum on any computer on my network.

Are you sure you are connecting to the hidden service at the correct port? If the logs say something like this:

Code:

I/i | interface.[mic3bk5pvma4ng7zkc3kdjmr2vv4wt72by7uw4bgqwxdijgw2bel5sad.onion:50002] | disconnecting due to: SOCKSFailure('connection refused')
I/n | network | couldn't launch iface mic3bk5pvma4ng7zkc3kdjmr2vv4wt72by7uw4bgqwxdijgw2bel5sad.onion:50002:t -- CancelledError()

Then you may have to check your Bitcoin Core configuration to find the port that it is listening on for onion connections.

Is this a Raspibolt?

Can you try this command below with verbose logging enabled

Code:

electrum -v --oneserver --server .onion:50002:s --proxy socks5:127.0.0.1:9050

But if it doesn't work try to connect Electrum using this command.

Code:

electrum -v --oneserver --server raspibolt.local:50002:s

Then update here to any errors popup here.

Not a raspibolt, just software manually installed.
What does the -v do?
I will try it.

I have a raspberry pi with bitcoin core + electrum personal server. I would SSH into it and then run electrum with these arguments: ./electrum --oneserver --server localhost:50002:S . I later created a tor hidden service and got an onion address. I tried this: ./electrum --oneserver --server myOnion:50001:t -p socks5:localhost9050 and it would not connect.

On bitnodes my onion is up, though it does not say Tor under the network description, like it does for others. I forwarded port 8333.

I have these in the bitcoin.conf:

proxy=127.0.0.1:9050

listen=1

bind=127.0.0.1

I am unsure what I am meant to do. I want to connect to it through electrum and I want the maximum privacy, so I don't other people to be able to query my node. Am I meant to just do what I did before (./electrum --oneserver --server localhost:50002:S) and it is over tor since I have walletbroadcast=0 on, or am I meant to use a hidden service, in which case, what is the correct electrum argument?

Thank you.
