I did not notice this Expires after in Receive tab of Electrum. I often open the Address tab to get my receiving addresses.
I am confusing to see it and search for documents but I still can not understand it. With 2 documents, I think Expires after is not important and it means nothing for my receiving address that always exist in my wallet. With one seed, I have one unique wallet and one unique set of receiving address.
I made trials with different time settings and click a few times and I saw different parameters in Request box with time=xxxxxxxxxxxxx&exp=yyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I think it is like scheduled receiving time (similar to locktime when send out my bitcoin).
Could you help me, please.
Set request expires to never or leave it unchanged. This option doesn’t do anything meaningful for on-chain transactions (i.e. not Lightning). People can always send you bitcoin and addresses don’t expire.
