Hello. Does Anyone know if there is any way to set a donation address for electrum server in MyNode?

I think you can put the donation address under Banner file(banner.txt) including contacts and server information.

Try to follow the step 6 from this link below.

The problem is that I can't find the file banner.txt

If you read the guide carefully, you can create banner.txt by yourself and let ElectrumX know about banner.txt through BANNER_FILE variable on env directory or /etc/electrumx.conf file.

I'm not familiar with what Nodl is... do you mean a "Nodl One" device? Huh

If so, that appears to be fully customisable, so I would think you can set that up how you like... or is it a cloud service like AWS or something? Huh

Thanks, I use Electrum Rust Server on Nodl so it is probably a private server and these settings aren't probably available.

You simply create a new address in the wallet of your choosing and then add that address to your server's configuration. Depending on what server you're using, this is done in different ways.

For instance, ElectrumX uses an environment variable named DONATION_ADDRESS.

The server I use (electrs), just provides a "Banner" option that is just free text that can be specified at runtime or in a config file that is the message shown in the Electrum console and you can add a donation address in that message.

What server are you using? Huh

Out of curiosity, how can someone add a donation address for their Electrum Server ?
