<p>From the documentation:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The fee will be equally deducted from the amount of each selected
address.</p>
<p>Those recipients will receive less bitcoins than you enter in their
corresponding amount field.</p>
<p><strong>If no addresses are specified here, the sender pays the fee.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>So it seems like you simply don't specify any addresses in that field.</p>

I seriously read "If no addresses are specified here, the recipient pays the fee." ... Several times. I don't get how that is possible, but it's true. Hmm.

<p>If I don't want the recipient to pay the fee, but I also don't want to subtract the fee from any of the &quot;inner transactions&quot; specified (that is, I want to pay it myself), what do I do with the &quot;subtractfeefrom&quot; parameter?</p>

With sendmany, how to specify the "subtractfeefrom" so that I pay the fee, but it's not subtracted from any of the "inner transactions"?
