- Easily broadcast double-spend transaction after a payment is sent, to return the funds to the internal wallet address.
- Fetch current network fee rate, or set a custom value.
- Optionally set automatic broadcasting of double-spend transactions.
- Control what happens to the payment transaction output - "Drop it" or "Replace with dust".

- Several address types - Legacy (p2pkh), SegWit backwards compatible, SegWit (bech32).
