bitbox-wallet not working with ElectrumX server 1.12
Closed this issue · 10 comments
ElectrumX rejects connections from clients with version < 3.3.
Please see kyuupichan/electrumx#842
BitBox Wallet is reporting version 0.0.1 so I can't connect it to my ElectrumX server.
ElectrumX version 1.12
Logs from the server:

Eventually the wallet times out when checking the connection
Thanks for the report. We are aware of this issue and will resolve it in due time. (Another issue is that newer ElectrumX servers do not accept client protocol version 1.2 anymore :/).
In the meantime, you could use an older ElectrumX server version, or Electrs.
Ok. Do you know if I have to sync again if I use Electrs?
I am afraid so.
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx has forked the original kyuupichan/electrumx which dropped support for bitcoin
The fix is merged and compatibility is restored in the next release, which is going to be published very soon. Thanks for your patience.
As @wilya7 mentioned, https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx is now the blessed fork of ElectrumX.
FTR https://github.com/digitalbitbox/bitbox-wallet-app/releases/tag/v4.24.1 is the release where the compatibility is restored.
thanks. I will be building a bitbox-base soon and will be using it
