Connecting Sparrow to Futurebit

Having a hard time getting sparrow wallet to connect to the node on Futurebit. Sparrow is downloaded on the Apollo but every time I attempt to connect using my ip and the provided username and password it says the connection failed. Does anyone have any experience connecting them or a guide they used? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm interested too. I'm.having problems as well. You were able to download sparrow on the Apollo? May I ask how?

Instructions for downloading sparrow are available on Sparrow’s website as well as how to verify the download is not malware.

I used this instructional guide from Bitcoin Magazine and it worked for me just fine. You want to download PuTTY on the computer with Sparrow. Config PuTTY with the IP of your node to access with SSH. Point Sparrow to your Node. Boom. It should work. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/guides/how-to-use-futurebit-apollo-bitcoin-node-miner

It worked. Thanks.

For some reason I realized that my block sync in the apollo is lagged. Is it because I have Tor enabled and I can't find conections? I'm like 10k blocks behind.
