<p>A good way to test if the server works is to send a small test transaction to yourself.  You will need to tell your client about the server.  For example try using <code>electrum -1 -s localhost:50002</code>.  The <code>-1</code> makes it so you only connect to one server.</p>

<p>Has anyone else gotten an electrumx server up and running lately?</p>

# Good way to test Electrumx?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-22)

Has anyone else gotten an electrumx server up and running lately?

I have just gotten to the point where I'm not seeing any errors during "# service electrumx status", but I'm also not seeing my server listed in my Electrum client.

Can you think of a good way to test whether the server is working?

I would especially hate it if it did appear but still didn't work! I don't want anyone to lose money because of me.

A good way to test if the server works is to send a small test transaction to yourself. You will need to tell your client about the server. For example try using `electrum -1 -s localhost:50002`. The `-1` makes it so you only connect to one server.
