Topic: How many addresses can I generate safely in Electrum? (Read 426 times)
The gap limit is the number of addresses that will be derived from seed and can be empty. Its what makes electrum stop deriving more addresses. You can derive any amount, but past 1000 (or was it 10000?) the performance might suffer because there seems to be a limit on most of the servers.
I want to use electrum in my server for serving my website bitcoin payments. I know that electrum have a gap limit. is it safey that I generate address beyond gap? how many addresses electrum can store? because my website have lot of traffic and may need lot of addresses generated.
