Which electrum server and/or wallet do you use to connect with Bitcoin Core?

I think Fulcrum is the most performant. You can connect Sparrow directly to Bitcoin Core, but is inefficient when scanning past transactions in that way. Would be nice if everything had a GUI, but that's ok.

I am using Bitcoin Core's built in wallet. What am I missing?

Time and perhaps risk of losing change to miners. How many transactions a year do you typically do? CLI or GUI?

I do it the other way around.

I have a Bitcoin Core wallet pointing to my cold storage signer. I also have a BlueWallet pointing to the same cold storage. Both of these are read-only and cannot spend from cold storage.

I can see when new transactions arrive either on my full node or on my phone. I never touch my cold storage except for funding Lightning. I have separate Lightning wallets for spending.

Finally there is also a post containing this question, hopefully there is an answer and you can learn from friends here.

I switched to Fulcrum recently after having been using ElectrumX for the past 4 years or so. The main difference I noticed that Fulcrum writes to the disk much less than ElectrumX would. Like an order of magnitude less. Apart from that, the work quite similarly.

I'm still using ElectrumX. Works well for my purposes, I see no reason to switch.

I use Electrs.

Will have to check out Fulcrum, apparently it's faster.

Same here, I'm running fulcrum. It works like a charm.
