electrs VS electrum-personal-server

There seems to be a Rust implementation of the server (electrs via https://github.com/romanz/electrs ). It was recommended as part of a Medium article on how to set up an Electrum server. So far it seems fine - but, what are your inputs on it?

romanz/electrs. This is a common choice for its low resource requirements, and most full-node distros use it. But while this implementation works great for basic queries, it will struggle with heavier ones (e.g. looking up addresses with many transactions)—especially when running on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Electrs v0.9.10 (Released: 3st November 2022) - https://github.com/romanz/electrs/releases

To gain some privacy by using Electrum you should set up Tor on Network preferences or by installing your own Electrum server via Electrum Personal Server, ElectrumX or Electrs.

Electrum can be connected to you full node if you also run this: https://github.com/romanz/electrs

Electrs: https://github.com/romanz/electrs (Instead of electrs you can also use "Electrum personal server" to connect Bitcoin core to Electrum).

LND v0.14.3 - Release page - Upgrade guide This release contains only a series of bug fixes, and doesn't introduce any backwards compatible changes (database migrations, etc) from the prior version. Notable fixes in this release include: a fix to an invoice registry related deadlock, a fix for an edge case when running the remote signer operating mode, and a fix to ensure that 3rd parties sweeping an anchor UTXO doesn't lead to the wallet having a fragmented internal UTXO state, and a fix for a payment state inconsistency (a payment looks like it was stuck though no HTLCs exist).Full release notes.

Follow the instructions on Electrum Personal Server. Don't let the word "server" deter you. Often this can mean "open a localhost http port". Assuming you have enough privledge on your PC to bind a TCP/IP port, you should be fine.

There are some server implementations that make use of XPUBs. For instance, Electrum Private Server is an implementation that must be configured with XPUBs of all wallets you want to use with it, so it can scan the blockchain for them, in return for much lower resource usage than regular servers that have to index the necessary information of every transaction ever made. But EPS is only suitable for private use, hence the name.

(A) Link it to your own Bitcoin Core node. You will need a little indexer called Electrum Private Server. https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/releases . Once you do that, you won't have to ask any other Bitcoin node for transaction history or to broadcast your transactions. You become your own bank, literally.

Electrum Personal server v0.2.4 (Released: 16th June 2022) - https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/releases

You need Electrum PERSONAL Server, not Electrum Server. Big difference!

To gain some privacy by using Electrum you should set up Tor on Network preferences or by installing your own Electrum server via Electrum Personal Server, ElectrumX or Electrs.
