Print this help message 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)
-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:
0000000000000000000f2adce67e49b0b6bdeb9de8b7c3d7e93b21e7fc1e819d,

000000000000056c49030c174179b52a928c870e6e8a822c75973b7970cfbd01)
-blockfilterindex=<type>
Maintain an index of compact filters by block (default: 0, values:
basic). If <type> is not supplied or if <type> = 1, indexes for
all known types are enabled.
-blocknotify=<cmd>
Execute command when the best block changes (%s in cmd is replaced by
block hash)
-blockreconstructionextratxn=<n>
Extra transactions to keep in memory for compact block reconstructions
(default: 100)
-blocksdir=<dir>
Specify directory to hold blocks subdirectory for *.dat files (default:
<datadir>)
-blocksonly
Whether to reject transactions from network peers. Automatic broadcast
and rebroadcast of any transactions from inbound peers is
disabled, unless '-whitelistforcerelay' is '1', in which case
whitelisted peers' transactions will be relayed. RPC transactions
are not affected. (default: 0)
-conf=<file>
Specify configuration file. Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir
location. (default: bitcoin.conf)
-daemon
Run in the background as a daemon and accept commands
-datadir=<dir>
Specify data directory
-dbcache=<n>
Maximum database cache size <n> MiB (4 to 16384, default: 450). In
addition, unused mempool memory is shared for this cache (see
-maxmempool).
-debuglogfile=<file>
Specify location of debug log file. Relative paths will be prefixed by a
net-specific datadir location. (-nodebuglogfile to disable;
default: debug.log)
-includeconf=<file>
Specify additional configuration file, relative to the -datadir path
(only useable from configuration file, not command line)
-loadblock=<file>
Imports blocks from external file on startup
-maxmempool=<n>
Keep the transaction memory pool below <n> megabytes (default: 300)
-maxorphantx=<n>
Keep at most <n> unconnectable transactions in memory (default: 100)
-mempoolexpiry=<n>
Do not keep transactions in the mempool longer than <n> hours (default:
336)
-par=<n>
Set the number of script verification threads (-16 to 15, 0 = auto, <0 =
leave that many cores free, default: 0)
-persistmempool
Whether to save the mempool on shutdown and load on restart (default: 1)
-pid=<file>
Specify pid file. Relative paths will be prefixed by a net-specific
datadir location. (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
Rebuild chain state and block index from the blk*.dat files on disk
-reindex-chainstate
Rebuild chain state from the currently indexed blocks. When in pruning
mode or if blocks on disk might be corrupted, use full -reindex
instead.
-sysperms
Create new files with system default permissions, instead of umask 077
(only effective with disabled wallet functionality)
-txindex
Maintain a full transaction index, used by the getrawtransaction rpc
call (default: 0)
-version
Print version and exit

to multiple nodes.
-discover
Discover own IP addresses (default: 1 when listening and no -externalip
or -proxy)
-dns
Allow DNS lookups for -addnode, -seednode and -connect (default: 1)

-onion=<ip:port>
Use separate SOCKS5 proxy to reach peers via Tor hidden services, set
-noonion to disable (default: -proxy)
-onlynet=<net>
Make outgoing connections only through network <net> (ipv4, ipv6 or
onion). Incoming connections are not affected by this option.
This option can be specified multiple times to allow multiple
networks.
-peerbloomfilters
Support filtering of blocks and transaction with bloom filters (default:
0)
-permitbaremultisig
Relay non-P2SH multisig (default: 1)

bloomfilter (allow requesting BIP37 filtered blocks and
transactions), noban (do not ban for misbehavior), forcerelay
(relay transactions that are already in the mempool; implies
relay), relay (relay even in -blocksonly mode), and mempool
(allow requesting BIP35 mempool contents). Specify multiple
permissions separated by commas (default: noban,mempool,relay).
Can be specified multiple times.
-whitelist=<[permissions@]IP address or network>
Whitelist peers connecting from the given IP address (e.g. 1.2.3.4) or
CIDR notated network(e.g. 1.2.3.0/24). Uses same permissions as
-whitebind. Can be specified multiple times.
Wallet options:
-addresstype
What type of addresses to use ("legacy", "p2sh-segwit", or "bech32",
default: "bech32")
-avoidpartialspends
Group outputs by address, selecting all or none, instead of selecting on
a per-output basis. Privacy is improved as an address is only
used once (unless someone sends to it after spending from it),
but may result in slightly higher fees as suboptimal coin
selection may result due to the added limitation (default: 0
(always enabled for wallets with "avoid_reuse" enabled))
-changetype
What type of change to use ("legacy", "p2sh-segwit", or "bech32").
Default is same as -addresstype, except when
-addresstype=p2sh-segwit a native segwit output is used when
sending to a native segwit address)
-disablewallet
Do not load the wallet and disable wallet RPC calls
-discardfee=<amt>
The fee rate (in BTC/kB) that indicates your tolerance for discarding
change by adding it to the fee (default: 0.0001). Note: An output
is discarded if it is dust at this rate, but we will always
discard up to the dust relay fee and a discard fee above that is
limited by the fee estimate for the longest target
-fallbackfee=<amt>
A fee rate (in BTC/kB) that will be used when fee estimation has
insufficient data. 0 to entirely disable the fallbackfee feature.
(default: 0.00)
-keypool=<n>
Set key pool size to <n> (default: 1000). Warning: Smaller sizes may
increase the risk of losing funds when restoring from an old
backup, if none of the addresses in the original keypool have
been used.
-mintxfee=<amt>
Fees (in BTC/kB) smaller than this are considered zero fee for
transaction creation (default: 0.00001)
-paytxfee=<amt>
Fee (in BTC/kB) to add to transactions you send (default: 0.00)
-rescan
Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions on startup
-salvagewallet
Attempt to recover private keys from a corrupt wallet on startup
-spendzeroconfchange
Spend unconfirmed change when sending transactions (default: 1)
-txconfirmtarget=<n>
If paytxfee is not set, include enough fee so transactions begin
confirmation on average within n blocks (default: 6)
-upgradewallet
Upgrade wallet to latest format on startup
-wallet=<path>
Specify wallet database path. Can be specified multiple times to load
multiple wallets. Path is interpreted relative to <walletdir> if
it is not absolute, and will be created if it does not exist (as
a directory containing a wallet.dat file and log files). For
backwards compatibility this will also accept names of existing
data files in <walletdir>.)
-walletbroadcast
Make the wallet broadcast transactions (default: 1)
-walletdir=<dir>
Specify directory to hold wallets (default: <datadir>/wallets if it
exists, otherwise <datadir>)
-walletnotify=<cmd>
Execute command when a wallet transaction changes. %s in cmd is replaced
by TxID and %w is replaced by wallet name. %w is not currently
implemented on windows. On systems where %w is supported, it
should NOT be quoted because this would break shell escaping used
to invoke the command.
-walletrbf
Send transactions with full-RBF opt-in enabled (RPC only, default: 0)
-zapwallettxes=<mode>
Delete all wallet transactions and only recover those parts of the
blockchain through -rescan on startup (1 = keep tx meta data e.g.
payment request information, 2 = drop tx meta data)
Debugging/Testing options:
-debug=<category>
Output debugging information (default: -nodebug, supplying <category> is
optional). If <category> is not supplied or if <category> = 1,
output all debugging information. <category> can be: net, tor,
mempool, http, bench, zmq, walletdb, rpc, estimatefee, addrman,
selectcoins, reindex, cmpctblock, rand, prune, proxy, mempoolrej,
libevent, coindb, qt, leveldb, validation.
-debugexclude=<category>
Exclude debugging information for a category. Can be used in conjunction
with -debug=1 to output debug logs for all categories except one
or more specified categories.
-help-debug
Print help message with debugging options and exit
-logips
Include IP addresses in debug output (default: 0)
-logthreadnames
Prepend debug output with name of the originating thread (only available
on platforms supporting thread_local) (default: 0)
-logtimestamps
Prepend debug output with timestamp (default: 1)
-maxtxfee=<amt>
Maximum total fees (in BTC) to use in a single wallet transaction;
setting this too low may abort large transactions (default: 0.10)
-printtoconsole
Send trace/debug info to console (default: 1 when no -daemon. To disable
logging to file, set -nodebuglogfile)
-shrinkdebugfile
Shrink debug.log file on client startup (default: 1 when no -debug)
-uacomment=<cmt>
Append comment to the user agent string
Chain selection options:
-chain=<chain>
Use the chain <chain> (default: main). Allowed values: main, test,

-datacarriersize
Maximum size of data in data carrier transactions we relay and mine
(default: 83)

Fees (in BTC/kB) smaller than this are considered zero fee for relaying,
mining and transaction creation (default: 0.00001)
-whitelistforcerelay
Add 'forcerelay' permission to whitelisted inbound peers with default
permissions. This will relay transactions even if the
transactions were already in the mempool. (default: 0)
-whitelistrelay
Add 'relay' permission to whitelisted inbound peers with default
permissions. This will accept relayed transactions even when not
relaying transactions (default: 1)
Block creation options:
-blockmaxweight=<n>
Set maximum BIP141 block weight (default: 3996000)
-blockmintxfee=<amt>
Set lowest fee rate (in BTC/kB) for transactions to be included in block
creation. (default: 0.00001)
RPC server options:
-rest
Accept public REST requests (default: 0)
-rpcallowip=<ip>
Allow JSON-RPC connections from specified source. Valid for <ip> are a
single IP (e.g. 1.2.3.4), a network/netmask (e.g.
1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0) or a network/CIDR (e.g. 1.2.3.4/24). This
option can be specified multiple times
-rpcauth=<userpw>
Username and HMAC-SHA-256 hashed password for JSON-RPC connections. The
field <userpw> comes in the format: <USERNAME>:<SALT>$<HASH>. A
canonical python script is included in share/rpcauth. The client
then connects normally using the
rpcuser=<USERNAME>/rpcpassword=<PASSWORD> pair of arguments. This
option can be specified multiple times
-rpcbind=<addr>[:port]
Bind to given address to listen for JSON-RPC connections. Do not expose
the RPC server to untrusted networks such as the public internet!
This option is ignored unless -rpcallowip is also passed. Port is
optional and overrides -rpcport. Use [host]:port notation for
IPv6. This option can be specified multiple times (default:
127.0.0.1 and ::1 i.e., localhost)
-rpccookiefile=<loc>
Location of the auth cookie. Relative paths will be prefixed by a
net-specific datadir location. (default: data dir)
-rpcpassword=<pw>
Password for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcport=<port>

-rpcthreads=<n>
Set the number of threads to service RPC calls (default: 4)
-rpcuser=<user>
Username for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcwhitelist=<whitelist>
Set a whitelist to filter incoming RPC calls for a specific user. The
field <whitelist> comes in the format: <USERNAME>:<rpc 1>,<rpc
2>,...,<rpc n>. If multiple whitelists are set for a given user,
they are set-intersected. See -rpcwhitelistdefault documentation
for information on default whitelist behavior.
-rpcwhitelistdefault
Sets default behavior for rpc whitelisting. Unless rpcwhitelistdefault
is set to 0, if any -rpcwhitelist is set, the rpc server acts as
if all rpc users are subject to empty-unless-otherwise-specified
whitelists. If rpcwhitelistdefault is set to 1 and no
-rpcwhitelist is set, rpc server acts as if all rpc users are
subject to empty whitelists.
-server
Accept command line and JSON-RPC commands
