Bitcoin Core Daemon version v0.14.3.0-g150612ecb5fda

Usage:
  bitcoind [options]                     Start Bitcoin Core Daemon

Options:

  -?
       Print this help message and exit

  -version
       Print version and exit

  -alertnotify=<cmd>
       Execute command when a relevant alert is received or we see a really
       long fork (%s in cmd is replaced by message)

  -blocknotify=<cmd>
       Execute command when the best block changes (%s in cmd is replaced by
       block hash)

  -assumevalid=<hex>
       If this block is in the chain assume that it and its ancestors are valid
       and potentially skip their script verification (0 to verify all,
       default:
       00000000000000000013176bf8d7dfeab4e1db31dc93bc311b436e82ab226b90,
       testnet:
       00000000000128796ee387cf110ccb9d2f36cffaf7f73079c995377c65ac0dcc)

  -conf=<file>
       Specify configuration file (default: bitcoin.conf)

  -daemon
       Run in the background as a daemon and accept commands

  -datadir=<dir>
       Specify data directory

  -dbcache=<n>
       Set database cache size in megabytes (4 to 16384, default: 450)

  -loadblock=<file>
       Imports blocks from external blk000??.dat file on startup

  -maxorphantx=<n>
       Keep at most <n> unconnectable transactions in memory (default: 100)

  -maxmempool=<n>
       Keep the transaction memory pool below <n> megabytes (default: 300)

  -mempoolexpiry=<n>

       (default: 100)

  -pid=<file>
       Specify pid file (default: bitcoind.pid)

  -prune=<n>
       Reduce storage requirements by enabling pruning (deleting) of old
       blocks. This allows the pruneblockchain RPC to be called to
       delete specific blocks, and enables automatic pruning of old
       blocks if a target size in MiB is provided. This mode is
       incompatible with -txindex and -rescan. Warning: Reverting this
       setting requires re-downloading the entire blockchain. (default:
       0 = disable pruning blocks, 1 = allow manual pruning via RPC,
       >550 = automatically prune block files to stay under the
       specified target size in MiB)

  -reindex-chainstate
       Rebuild chain state from the currently indexed blocks

  -reindex
       Rebuild chain state and block index from the blk*.dat files on disk
