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
• It might be 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:
