🔒 What is it, exactly?
A Fulcrum server is what’s known as an Electrum server for the Bitcoin network. It allows wallet apps such as Phoenix, Electrum, or Sparrow to connect securely and quickly to the blockchain – the decentralized database that records all Bitcoin transactions.
Instead of downloading the entire Bitcoin blockchain, wallets can use a Fulcrum server to fetch only the data they need — efficiently, privately, and without relying on big centralized providers.
⚙️ Technical Details
My Fulcrum server runs at the following address:
👉 fulcrum.it-service-commander.de:50002
The connection is fully SSL-encrypted, ensuring all communication is secure.
Behind the scenes, it’s powered by Bitcoin Core 29.1, the latest version of the official Bitcoin software — directly connected to the Bitcoin network.
💼 Why I’m Offering This
As an IT service provider, I work with a few clients who are increasingly interested in Bitcoin, self-custody, and digital security.
Most wallet apps automatically connect to public servers on the internet — and you never really know who operates them or what kind of data they collect.
With my own Fulcrum server, I provide my clients (and anyone interested) with a trusted, privacy-friendly, and stable infrastructure they can easily configure in their wallet app.
📱 How to Connect
Getting started is simple:
- Open your wallet app (e.g., Phoenix, Electrum, or Sparrow).
- Go to the Server Settings section.
- Enter the following details:
fulcrum.it-service-commander.de
Port: 50002
SSL: enabled (✔)- Save the settings — and you’re all set! Your wallet is now securely connected to my Fulcrum server.
🔧 Benefits for My Clients
✅ Fast synchronization with the Bitcoin blockchain
✅ Fully encrypted communication via SSL
✅ No dependency on unknown third-party servers
✅ Ideal for businesses integrating Bitcoin into their IT infrastructure
✅ Transparent, European-based infrastructure — operated by a local IT provider
🚀 Conclusion
With my public Bitcoin Fulcrum server, I aim to make secure, decentralized technologies more accessible — especially for small and mid-sized businesses.
Anyone using Bitcoin should understand that real trust comes from transparency and open systems — and that’s exactly what this service represents.
