+Disable-wallet mode
+--------------------
+When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Bitcoin Core may be compiled in
+disable-wallet mode with:
+
+ ./configure --disable-wallet
+
+In this case there is no dependency on Berkeley DB 4.8.
+
+Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode, but only using the `getblocktemplate` RPC
+call not `getwork`.
