💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay bestie, this is the big list — every flag, every default, every little technical crumb. I’m keeping all the values exactly as they are, so don’t @ me if the hex is long 💀

• -? — 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: 0000000000000000002e63058c023a9a1de233554f28c7b21380b6c9003f36a8, testnet: 0000000000000037a8cd3e06cd5edbfe9dd1dbcc5dacab279376ef7cfc2b4c75). 🔥
• -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 blocks directory (default: <datadir>/blocks). 📁
• -conf=<file> — Specify configuration file. Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir location. (default: digibyte.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). 💾
• -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 blk000??.dat 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 (-6 to 16, 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: digibyted.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). 🪓

⚠️ bestie, that prune warning is not a joke — reverting this setting requires re-downloading the entire blockchain, fr fr.

• -reindex — Rebuild chain state and block index from the blk*.dat files on disk. 🔁
• -reindex-chainstate — Rebuild chain state from the currently indexed blocks. 🧩
• -sysperms — Create new files with system default permissions, instead of umask 077 (only effective with disabled wallet functionality). 🔐

• -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: 1). 🌸
• -permitbaremultisig — Relay non-P2SH multisig (default: 1). ✍️
• -port=<port> — Listen for connections on <port> (default: 8333 or testnet: 18333). 🚪

Whitelisted peers cannot be DoS banned and their transactions are always relayed, even if they are already in the mempool, useful e.g. for a gateway. 🛡️

👜 Wallet options:

• -addresstype — What type of addresses to use ("legacy", "p2sh-segwit", or "bech32", default: "p2sh-segwit"). 🏷️
• -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). 🕵️
• -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 DGB/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 DGB/kB) that will be used when fee estimation has insufficient data (default: 0.0002). 🛟
• -keypool=<n> — Set key pool size to <n> (default: 1000). 🔑
• -mintxfee=<amt> — Fees (in DGB/kB) smaller than this are considered zero fee for transaction creation (default: 0.00001). 🪙
• -paytxfee=<amt> — Fee (in DGB/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 — bestie, the source cuts off right here 😭 the rest of this one’s description is in part 2, so hold that thought.
• -walletbroadcast — makes the wallet broadcast transactions (default: 1) 📣
• -walletdir=<dir> — tells it where to keep wallets (default: <datadir>/wallets if that exists, otherwise <datadir>) 🗂️

• -walletrbf — sends transactions with full-RBF opt-in enabled (RPC only, default: 0) 🚦
• -zapwallettxes=<mode> — deletes all wallet transactions and only recovers those parts of the blockchain through -rescan on startup (1 = keep tx meta data, e.g. account owner and payment request information, 2 = drop tx meta data) 💥

🔍 Debugging/Testing options

• -debug=<category> — outputs debugging information (default: -nodebug, and supplying <category> is optional). If <category> is not supplied or if <category> = 1, it outputs all debugging information. <category> can be: net, tor, mempool, http, bench, zmq, db, rpc, estimatefee, addrman, selectcoins, reindex, cmpctblock, rand, prune, proxy, mempoolrej, libevent, coindb, qt, leveldb 🪲
• -debugexclude=<category> — excludes debugging information for a category. Can be used together with -debug=1 to output debug logs for all categories except one or more specified categories 🙈
• -help-debug — shows all debugging options (usage: --help -help-debug) 🆘
• -logips — includes IP addresses in debug output (default: 0) 🌐
• -logtimestamps — prepends debug output with a timestamp (default: 1) ⏰

• -whitelistforcerelay — force relay of transactions from whitelisted peers even if they violate local relay policy (default: 1) 🛡️
• -whitelistrelay — accept relayed transactions received from whitelisted peers even when not relaying transactions (default: 1) 📬

🧱 Block creation options

• -blockmaxweight=<n> — sets maximum BIP141 block weight (default: 3996000) ⚖️

There’s also this dangling line in the source, and we are not fixing it, bestie:

Set maximum BIP141 block weight to this * 4. Deprecated, use
blockmaxweight

• -blockmintxfee=<amt> — sets the lowest fee rate (in DGB/kB) for transactions to be included in block creation. (default: 0.00001) 💰

okay so the raw text here has these exact stray merge-conflict-looking crumbs, and we’re keeping them character-for-character because that’s what the page says:

======= -blockmintxfee=<amt>

• -rpcauth=<userpw> — username and hashed password for JSON-RPC connections. The <userpw> field 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] — binds to the given address to listen for JSON-RPC connections. This option is ignored unless -rpcallowip is also passed. The 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, or if -rpcallowip has been specified, 0.0.0.0 and ::, i.e. all addresses) 🪢
