Can anyone help me connect #Sparrow wallet to my #BitcoinCore node that is running on a different PC on the same network? I tried using Sparrow's guide, but for some reason it's not connecting.
Any videos or advice would be greatly appreciated!
My network uses 10.0.0.x format and ipv6. I don't know if that's part of the problem. I don't know a lot about networks.
Thanks!
Is your Bitcoin core setup to accept connections on port 8332?
I’m the config is “server = 1”?
I added lines to the Bitcoin.conf file as such.
server=1
rpcuser=xxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxx
[main]
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcbind=10.0.0.10
rpcallow=127.0.0.1
rpcbind=10.0.0.49
I was not sure if I was supposed to use my public IP or my network IP.
I don't know how to allow Bitcoin Core to accept connections on port 8332. Is that the setting that says "Connect through SOCKS proxy (default proxy):"?
For testing do
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcallow=0.0.0.0
Is core running on the same computer as sparrow or a separate machine?
Either way see if this helps. Comment out the other rpcbind and rpcallow.
FYI a good resource for your conf file is https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/
