Release notes
- Refined user interface respecting the design of the original layout.
- Ability to connect to the Bitcoin network via public Electrum servers (Spectrum Plugin).
- The new feature allows users to connect to the Bitcoin network via public Electrum servers of reputable companies and projects (electrum.emzy.de or electrum.blockstream.info).
- Tor connectivity for all outgoing network traffic including Electrum traffic.
- Many bugfixes and performance improvements.
- Feels lighter, faster and more responsive. Download binaries shrunk significantly in size.
Electrum Server Migration Guide
WARNING: THIS GUIDE DOES NOT PRESERVE YOUR LABELS (yet). PLEASE ALWAYS CREATE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS.
This section provides technical details for people who want to migrate from Core to an Electrum connection. The setup and usage from scratch should be self-explanatory.
If you have an existing setup, it’s recommended to backup your data-directory or copy and start with a different data-directory, in order to reduce and mitigate risk. Here is the second option:
- Copy your
~/.specter
directory to~/.specter_electrum
. Skip thenode
directory, especially if you ran an internal node. - Download and start Specter as usual.
- Open
Specter
➡️Preferences
- Open
Advanced
- Change your Data directory by adding
--specter-data-folder=YOURHOMEDIRECTORY/.specter_spectrum
to theSpecterd CLI args
. For MacOS, for example,YOURHOMEDIRECTORY
is something like/Users/YOURUSERNAME.
- Save (Specter closes automatically if you click
Continue
) - Restart the Specter app
- On the upper left, click the connection, then
configure the connection
. Clickdelete
to remove the Bitcoin Core Connection. -
On the left hand side, click “Add plugin” and choose
spectrum
. -
Pick a public-server or your own. Click
connect
.
- Note that the wallets are shown on the right side. This is a bug. Restart Specter again.
- After the restart, the wallets should have disappeared but the warning sign should still be there.
- Your wallets need to get recreated in Spectrum. Click
Show Details
- Click
Recreate the wallet
for each missing wallet.
- Import the wallets as if they did not exist. Click
import wallet
. Do that for each of the wallet. - When you’re finished, click in
retry loading wallets.
The warning sign should disappear.

Spectrum guide
This release contains Spectrum, a plugin for running Specter via an Electrum server instead of a Bitcoin Core node. The plugin is currently in alpha 🧪 and in order to use it, you need to allow alpha plugins. Here is how to activate them (if you use one of the apps):
* Download and start as usual
* Open Specter
➡️ Preferences
* Open Advanced
* Insert --devstatus-threshold alpha
in Specterd CLI args
* It's also recommended to use a different data directory in order to separate the experiment from your normal setup. On Linux/Mac you could do that by also adding --specter-data-folder YOURHOMEDIRECTORY/.specter_spectrum
to the Specterd CLI args
from the previous step. For MacOS, for example, YOURHOMEDIRECTORY
is sth. like /Users/YOURUSERNAME.
* Save (Specter closes automatically if you click Continue
)
* Restart the Specter app
* If you used a different data directory, don't be surprised, as you now won't see your usual wallets & devices. Remove the Specterd CLI args
changes from above and you are be back to normal.
* Click the left "Get started" button:
Since Spectrum is still in alpha, it is not supported yet to use it alongside a connected Bitcoin Core node. If you are connected to a Bitcoin Core node, you will not see the screen above, so you'd need to do the following: - Disconnect your Bitcoin Core node (not yet possible via the GUI, we will add this) by either saving it with an incorrect configuration or by stopping the node. - Again, it's recommended to use a different data directory in order to separate the experiment from your normal setup (see above). - Restart Specter - You should now see the screen above.

Breaking changes
In #1785 Ankur implemented JWT authentication in the REST API. This obviously means, the the old way of Basic Auth based Authentication no longer works. Because of that, if you use the REST interface, you need to change it. See https://docs.specter.solutions/desktop/api/ for details.
