Hey I tried to connect using the authentication option but it keeps saying "could not connect, user/pass authentication failed". I followed all the steps though
Hi, downloaded bitcoin core and sparrow, I managed to connect them but when sparrow is downloading transaction history and error message: error impotying bitcoin core decriptor wallet/ the connected node is prune at 2024/3/11 but the wallet birthdate is set 2022/1/1, how can I fix thi issue please ? thank you in advance
Sparrow is an open source bitcoin only wallet (on chain). Lightning is a second layer on top of bitcoin. These are two completely different things. If you want a good lightning wallet then I would recommend blixt and phoenix!
Well the wallet doesn't really have anything to do with the fees as you are talking about on chain bitcoin vs off chain with lightning. Lightning transactions fees are usually always way cheaper than on chain. So if you are using sparrow then you are using on chain bitcoin which means your fees will be higher than lightning transactions. The cool thing about sparrow though is you get to choose your own fee when sending bitcoin while many other wallets like ledger live do not give you this option. You have more freedom with sparrow. You also get to choose which utxos you would like spend.
Make sure to add "server=1" into the config on bitcoin core, even if you use default authentication!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
How do you connect to a Bitcoin Core Node running on a different computer?
I recommend joining the bitcoin discord I have linked in my description to obtain this information!
I tried both ways, neither worked, I followed your instructions perfectly

Have you converted into a maxi?
Yes. I've been a maxi for a while now :)
@@Kahoobb I was a shitcoiner with you too for awhile. Love to see people go full circle!
That's awesome to see you also became a maxi :D
What’s the point of all this?
What's the point of what exactly? Buying and owning bitcoin? Running your own node? Using a free and open source bitcoin only wallet?
@@Kahoobb the sparrow thing. Why not just use lightning?

@@Kahoobb oh I see. Is sparrow cheaper or more expensive per transaction since it’s on the BTC chain directly?
