It's now possible to connect Electrum to Bitcoin Core directly!

Hi,

I've just discovered a wonderful piece of software called Bitcoin Wallet Tracker - Electrum Plugin and wanted to share it here since it's not very well known yet. This allows you to connect Electrum to a Bitcoin Core node running on the same computer. No need to be messing with Electrumx or Electrs anymore.

You can even use it with a pruned node, only limitation is you have to be using Electrum with a hardware wallet.
