About
Electrum is a Bitcoin wallet distributed by Electrum Technologies GmbH as open source software. The official site offers a macOS executable for macOS 11 and higher, alongside builds for Linux, Windows, Android, and installation from Python sources. The site states that its executables are reproducible and signed independently by several builders, and it recommends verifying GPG signatures against ThomasV's public key and only downloading from electrum.org.
The website also provides community resources, including official documentation, plugins, forums, a development IRC channel, a GitHub bug tracker, and localization through Crowdin. Users can run their own Electrum server, and the site links to ElectrumX and Electrs as server implementations, along with a list of public Bitcoin Electrum servers.
The site's privacy policy says that crash reports can optionally be uploaded to GitHub. These reports may include IP addresses, timestamps, device name, and OS version, but the site states that they contain no private keys, and users can review them before any upload.
