	If you need to have more receiving addresses in your wallet, you may increase your gap limit (expert mode).		If you need to have more receiving addresses in your wallet, you may increase your gap limit (expert mode).
	This, however, means that you will need to remember the new limit in order to be able to recover your wallet from seed.		This, however, means that you will need to remember the new limit in order to be able to recover your wallet from seed.

			Here is how to configure your Gap Limit (1000 for example):
			wallet.storage.put('gap_limit', 1000)

	For convenience, a seed can also be expressed by a sequence of 12 words in Electrum, and it also supports generation of a QR code to facilitate the backup of the seed.		For convenience, a seed can also be expressed by a sequence of 12 words in Electrum, and it also supports generation of a QR code to facilitate the backup of the seed.

	So there are 2^128 possible seeds for a deterministic wallet in Electrum.		So there are 2<sup>128</sup> possible seeds for a deterministic wallet in Electrum.
	For comparison, the total number of Bitcoin addresses is 2^160, and the number of atoms ~~on earth~~ is 2^166.		For comparison, the total number of Bitcoin addresses is 2<sup>160</sup>, and the number of atoms in the universe is 2<sup>166</sup> ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe#Matter_content_-_number_of_atoms ~10<sup>80</sup>]).
	So there exists one Bitcoin address per 64 atoms ~~on earth~~, and there exists one seed of Electrum wallets per 4.3 Billion Bitcoin addresses.		So there exists one Bitcoin address per 64 atoms in the universe, and there exists one seed of Electrum wallets per 4.3 Billion Bitcoin addresses.
	~~(By the way: The number of atoms in the complete universe is estimated as 2^266)~~.
