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.
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 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?
Same here... why change a winning team.
Fulcrum here too
Fulcrum is great
Thanks, that is what I'm using also.
I do it the other way around.

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

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.
I've figured out fulcrum is best
Thanks, same conclusion here.
Same here, I'm running fulcrum. It works like a charm.
