Looking for attention on #475: Cake wallet doesn't work with Fulcrum electrum server
The issue initially cropped up because of a bug where I can't use electrumx (which works fine with Cake) with litecoind 0.21.2+. It looks like electrumx might be fixed soon but, except for it not working with Cake, I've really come to like using Fulcrum and wouldn't necessarily switched back if they worked together.

How to connect to Electrum Server
I am excited after latest update about ability to connect Trezor to Electrum Server. I've installed https://github.com/blockstream/electrs connected it to my Bitcoin Core using advice form https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/91746/configure-esplora-to-point-to-the-bitcoind-servers-ip-address and then run https://github.com/blockstream/esplora on top of it, just for fun (well to have a block explorer).
