if you feel like helping a non technical person, I've been failing to connect my bitcoin core with sparrow. it always returns the following error: "Cannot find Bitcoin Core cookie file at..."
I end up looking into you guide and added txindex into the config file. As my node was pruned Ive got the following error: "Error: Prune mode is incompatible with -txindex." I removed the command from the config file and error persisted. I could not open my bitcoin core. So ai removed and reinstalled Bitcoin Core, a different version even. I still get the same "Error: Prune mode is incompatible with -txindex" error and cannot open any bitcoin core application. Do you have any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this? I am using a mac and happy to pay for your service.
You can't prune, that's a problem.
Turn off prune (prune=0), add txindex=1, wait for sync, add rpcuser=name and rpcpassword=password, then add password on sparrow end.
Thanks flr getting back to me.My issue now is I removed the previous Bitcoin Core file and everything with it and the new one was never started and I don't seem to have a config file.
