Electrum disable use change address without UI.

[tmp1]

Hello!
This is very easy to disable change address with UI. But I do not have UI where is a file with this setting located?

What do you want to achieve?
A transaction often contains a change address. I think disabling this setting does send the remaining coins 'back to the same address' ( means: sending address = change address).

If that's what you want to achieve with the command line, you'll have to built the transaction yourself with the paytomany command.

In your terminal:

Code:

electrum paytomany -F <Your_Sending_Address> -c <Your_Sending_Address> -f <Your_Fee> <Receipent_Address>

Note that you'll have to calculate the output + fee by hand prior executing this command if you are doing it this way.
Your fee simply is Input - Output(s).


That would be my first approach using the command line.
There is no option to disable change addresses. At least not that i am aware of..

It's in the wallet file.  use_change = false. You can add it using jq:

Code:

jq ". + {use_change:false}" wallet_file
