A sender implementation of BIP352 Silent Payments for Electrum's Qt desktop wallet.
It integrates directly into Electrum's existing Send tab. Paste a Silent Payment address into Pay to, enter the amount, and press Pay… as usual. The plugin detects the address and builds a normal Bitcoin transaction whose recipient output is derived from the wallet's selected inputs.Safety status
This is an independent plugin, not an official Electrum feature, and has not received a professional security audit. Review the source, verify the release hash, test on testnet, and use a small amount for any first mainnet payment.Features

Electrum is implementing features in the wrong order. It doesn't matter if you use Silent Payments if you sync using a public Electrum server. Add BIP157/158 compact filters FIRST, then add Silent Payments next.
This plugin isn't made by Electrum, but it really should have compact filters.
This 3rd party plugin is about sending silent payments, not receiving.
