The default options are sane for most users. This means btcd will work 'out of the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that can be used to control it. The following section provides a usage overview which enumerates the flags. An interesting point to note is that the long form of all of these options (except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically parsed when btcd starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at ~/.btcd/btcd.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\btcd\btcd.conf on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag, as shown below, can be used to override this location. Usage: btcd [OPTIONS] Application Options: -V, --version Display version information and exit -C, --configfile= Path to configuration file -b, --datadir= Directory to store data -a, --addpeer= Add a peer to connect with at startup --connect= Connect only to the specified peers at startup --nolisten Disable listening for incoming connections -- NOTE: Listening is automatically disabled if the --connect or --proxy options are used without also specifying listen interfaces via --listen --listen= Add an interface/port to listen for connections (default all interfaces port: 8333, testnet: 18333) --maxpeers= Max number of inbound and outbound peers (125) --banduration= How long to ban misbehaving peers. Valid time units are {s, m, h}. Minimum 1 second (24h0m0s) -u, --rpcuser= Username for RPC connections -P, --rpcpass= Password for RPC connections --rpclimituser= Username for limited RPC connections --rpclimitpass= Password for limited RPC connections --rpclisten= Add an interface/port to listen for RPC connections (default port: 8334, testnet: 18334) --rpccert= File containing the certificate file --rpckey= File containing the certificate key --rpcmaxclients= Max number of RPC clients for standard connections (10) --rpcmaxwebsockets= Max number of RPC clients for standard connections (25) --norpc Disable built-in RPC server -- NOTE: The RPC server is disabled by default if no rpcuser/rpcpass is specified --notls Disable TLS for the RPC server -- NOTE: This is only allowed if the RPC server is bound to localhost --nodnsseed Disable DNS seeding for peers --externalip: Add an ip to the list of local addresses we claim to listen on to peers --proxy= Connect via SOCKS5 proxy (eg. 127.0.0.1:9050) --proxyuser= Username for proxy server --proxypass= Password for proxy server --onion= Connect to tor hidden services via SOCKS5 proxy (eg. 127.0.0.1:9050) --onionuser= Username for onion proxy server --onionpass= Password for onion proxy server --noonion= Disable connecting to tor hidden services --tor= Specifies the proxy server used is a Tor node --testnet= Use the test network --regtest= Use the regression test network --nocheckpoints= Disable built-in checkpoints. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing. --dbtype= Database backend to use for the Block Chain (leveldb) --profile= Enable HTTP profiling on given port -- NOTE port must be between 1024 and 65536 (6060) --cpuprofile= Write CPU profile to the specified file -d, --debuglevel: Logging level for all subsystems {trace, debug, info, warn, error, critical} -- You may also specify =,=,... to set the log level for individual subsystems -- Use show to list available subsystems (info) --upnp Use UPnP to map our listening port outside of NAT --limitfreerelay= Limit relay of transactions with no transaction fee to the given amount in thousands of bytes per minute (15) --maxorphantx= Max number of orphan transactions to keep in memory (1000) --generate= Generate (mine) bitcoins using the CPU --miningaddr= Add the specified payment address to the list of addresses to use for generated blocks -- At least one address is required if the generate option is set --blockminsize= Mininum block size in bytes to be used when creating a block --blockmaxsize= Maximum block size in bytes to be used when creating a block (750000) --blockprioritysize= Size in bytes for high-priority/low-fee transactions when creating a block (50000) --getworkkey= DEPRECATED -- Use the --miningaddr option instead --addrindex= Build and maintain a full address index. Currently only supported by leveldb. --dropaddrindex= Deletes the address-based transaction index from the database on start up, and the exits.
