How can I create a new address in Electrum wallets? By default, the addresses are defined in the wallet. Can not I create new addresses myself?
Electrum will automatically keep making new addresses as you start using your wallet. So don't worry. Just go with the flow.
If you want more than 20 addresses showing in your wallet then open the "console" tab and type the commands below into it. Press your enter key after writing each line.
wallet.storage.put('gap_limit', 50)
wallet.storage.write()
Restart your wallet and you should have 50 addresses showing instead of 20. Electrum will continue making new addresses as you use your wallet, but 50 will show up.
If you ever restore your wallet from seed you will need to retype those commands into the "console" tab to see your 50 addresses because 20 is the default.
If you increase the number of addresses showing to over 100 electrum might start slowing your computer down.
