    The gui keeps track of some addresses in the "receiving addresses" and "sending addresses" tabs. In light of address reuse and accidental double-payments, it could make sense to hide or dull out addresses which have been used. Maybe even show the txid.

    Agreed, willing to work on this if consensus thinks it would be a valuable change.

    The issue has three ":+1:", which means overall agreement, I guess

    Nice, will start working on this and open a PR once complete 👍

    Concept ACK. Do we already track used addresses in the wallet (beside keypool)? If not then I think we should start by doing it otherwise implementing this can hurt the GUI for big wallets. Or am I missing something?

    We already track used addresses in the address book via the SetUsedDestinationState, however this is only when the wallet has the avoid_reuse flag set.

    only when the wallet has the avoid_reuse flag set.

    Sounds reasonable to support just that for now.
