Can't get addresses to load in mempool
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.

Wasabi vs Electrum
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.

Full node still impossible ? Umbrel ? Mynode ?

⚡ Raspibolt Monthly Rundown 🌕 May 16th, 2022 - Guide & software updates, new Github pull requests & issues and other news
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.

Does anyone know how to setup electrum server on a Windows machine?
I'd install ElectRS (Electrum-server rust implementation) https://github.com/romanz/electrs/ in a virtual machine running Linux (for example Ubuntu in VirtualBox).

Looking for an indexer
Just for completeness, after struggling with the setup, it seems that more than "tweeks" are required.

A new full node is born.
The main sources of information to build my full node are Ministry Of Nodes’ video tutorials on YouTube and the incredible RaspiBolt guide. Both have been very useful to get me started in this beautiful project, but I faced some issues every now and then due to the fact that I was dealing with newer versions of the apps and things didn’t work out of the box all the time so I had to RTFM here and there.
