GROESTLCOIN-QT(1)
π NAME π
groestlcoin-qt β manual page for groestlcoin-qt v29.0.0. This is the GROESTLCOIN-QT(1) User Commands page, bestie, and itβs literally all about the GUI version of Groestlcoin Core. β¨
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
groestlcoin-qt [options] [URI]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Groestlcoin Core version v29.0.0. π«Ά
The groestlcoin-qt application provides a graphical interface for interacting with Groestlcoin Core.
It combines the core functionalities of groestlcoind with a user-friendly interface for wallet management, transaction history, and network statistics.
It is suitable for users who prefer a graphical over a command-line interface. GUI girlies, this oneβs for you. π
You can optionally specify a payment [URI], in e.g. the BIP21 URI format.
π OPTIONS π
-alertnotify=<cmd>β Execute command when an alert is raised (%sincmdis replaced by message). Itβs giving βalert but make it a command.β π¨-allowignoredconfβ For backwards compatibility, treat an unusedgroestlcoin.conffile in the datadir as a warning, not an error. No drama, just a lil heads-up. π-assumevalid=<hex>β If this block is in the chain, assume that it and its ancestors are valid and potentially skip their script verification (0to verify all). Defaults are:- default:
00000000000006713d496168ff30de2814387078da0f048c1baeb048ddafb338 - testnet3:

- default:
-blockfilterindex=<type>β 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. Filter index slay. π§-blocknotify=<cmd>β Execute command when the best block changes (%sincmdis replaced by block hash). Bestie block update, but as a command. π₯-blockreconstructionextratxn=<n>β Extra transactions to keep in memory for compact block reconstructions (default:100).-blocksdir=<dir>β Specify directory to hold blocks subdirectory for*.datfiles (default:<datadir>).-blocksonlyβ Whether to reject transactions from network peers. Disables automatic broadcast and rebroadcast of transactions, unless the source peer has the'forcerelay'permission. RPC transactions are not affected. (default:0)-blocksxorβ Whether an XOR-key applies to blocksdir*.datfiles. The created XOR-key will be zeros for an existing blocksdir or when-blocksxor=0is set, and random for a freshly initialized blocksdir. (default:1)-coinstatsindexβ Maintain coinstats index used by thegettxoutsetinfoRPC (default:0).-conf=<file>β Specify path to read-only configuration file. Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir location (only useable from command line, not configuration file) (default:groestlcoin.conf). π-daemonβ Run in the background as a daemon and accept commands (default:0).-daemonwaitβ Wait for initialization to be finished before exiting. This implies-daemon(default:0).-datadir=<dir>β Specify data directory.-dbcache=<n>β Maximum database cache size<n>MiB (minimum4, default:450). Make sure you have enough RAM. In addition, unused memory allocated to the mempool is shared with this cache (see-maxmempool). RAM check, bestie. π-debuglogfile=<file>β Specify location of debug log file (default:debug.log). Relative paths will be prefixed by a net-specific datadir location. Pass-nodebuglogfileto disable writing the log to a file.-helpβ Print this help message and exit (also-hor-?). The classic βhelp me help youβ moment. π-includeconf=<file>β Specify additional configuration file, relative to the-datadirpath (only useable from configuration file, not command line).-loadblock=<file>β Imports blocks from external file on startup.-maxmempool=<n>β Keep the transaction memory pool below<n>megabytes (default:300).-maxorphantx=<n>β Keep at most<n>unconnectable transactions in memory (default:100).-mempoolexpiry=<n>β Do not keep transactions in the mempool longer than<n>hours (default:336).-par=<n>β Set the number of script verification threads (0= auto, up to15,<0= leave that many cores free, default:0).-persistmempoolβ Whether to save the mempool on shutdown and load on restart (default:1).-persistmempoolv1β Whether amempool.datfile created by-persistmempoolor thesavemempoolRPC will be written in the legacy format (version1) or the current format (version2). This temporary option will be removed in the future. (default:0)-pid=<file>β Specify pid file. Relative paths will be prefixed by a net-specific datadir location. (default:groestlcoind.pid)-prune=<n>β Reduce storage requirements by enabling pruning (deleting) of old blocks. This allows thepruneblockchainRPC 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. 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). β οΈ-reindexβ If enabled, wipe chain state and block index, and rebuild them fromblk*.datfiles on disk. Also wipe and rebuild other optional indexes that are active. If an assumeutxo snapshot was loaded, its chainstate will be wiped as well. The snapshot can then be reloaded via RPC. Big reset energy. π-reindex-chainstateβ If enabled, wipe chain state, and rebuild it fromblk*.datfiles on disk. If an assumeutxo snapshot was loaded, its chainstate will be wiped as well. The snapshot can then be reloaded via RPC.-settings=<file>β Specify path to dynamic settings data file. Can be disabled with-nosettings. File is written at runtime and not meant to be edited by users (usegroestlcoin.confinstead for custom settings). Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir location. (default:settings.json)-shutdownnotify=<cmd>β Execute command immediately before beginning shutdown. The need for shutdown may be urgent, so be careful not to delay it long (if the command doesnβt require interaction with the server, consider having it fork into the background). Donβt hold up the goodbye, bestie. π«Ά-startupnotify=<cmd>β Execute command on startup.-txindexβ Maintain a full transaction index, used by thegetrawtransactionrpc call (default:0).-versionβ Print version and exit.
π Connection options π
-addnode=<ip>β Add a node to connect to and attempt to keep the connection open (see theaddnodeRPC help for more info). This option can be specified multiple times to add multiple nodes; connections are limited to8at a time and are counted separately from the-maxconnectionslimit. Friend requests for nodes. π-asmap=<file>β Specify asn mapping used for bucketing of the peers (default:ip_asn.map). Relative paths will be prefixed by the net-specific datadir location.-bantime=<n>β Default duration (in seconds) of manually configured bans (default:86400).-bind=<addr>[:<port>][=onion]β Bind to given address and always listen on it (default:0.0.0.0). Use[host]:portnotation for IPv6. Append=onionto tag any incoming connections to that address and port as incoming Tor connections (default:127.0.0.1:1444=onion, testnet3:127.0.0.1:17764=onion, testnet4:127.0.0.1:48334=onion, signet:127.0.0.1:31444=onion, regtest:127.0.0.1:18445=onion).-cjdnsreachableβ If set, then this host is configured for CJDNS (connecting tofc00::/8addresses would lead us to the CJDNS network, seedoc/cjdns.md) (default:0).-connect=<ip>β Connect only to the specified node;-noconnectdisables automatic connections (the rules for this peer are the same as for-addnode). This option can be specified multiple times to connect to multiple nodes. Monogamous networking, lowkey. π-discoverβ Discover own IP addresses (default:1when listening and no-externalipor-proxy).-dnsβ Allow DNS lookups for-addnode,-seednodeand-connect(default:1).-dnsseedβ Query for peer addresses via DNS lookup, if low on addresses (default:1unless-connectused or-maxconnections=0).-externalip=<ip>β Specify your own public address.-fixedseedsβ Allow fixed seeds if DNS seeds donβt provide peers (default:1).-forcednsseedβ Always query for peer addresses via DNS lookup (default:0).-i2pacceptincomingβ Whether to accept inbound I2P connections (default:1). Ignored if-i2psamis not set. Listening for inbound I2P connections is done through the SAM proxy, not by binding to a local address and port.-i2psam=<ip:port>β I2P SAM proxy to reach I2P peers and accept I2P connections (default: none).-listenβ Accept connections from outside (default:1if no-proxy,-connector-maxconnections=0).-listenonionβ Automatically create Tor onion service (default:1).-maxconnections=<n>β Maintain at most<n>automatic connections to peers (default:125). This limit does not apply to connections manually added via-addnodeor theaddnodeRPC, which have a separate limit of8.-maxreceivebuffer=<n>β Maximum per-connection receive buffer,<n>*1000bytes (default:5000).-maxsendbuffer=<n>β Maximum per-connection memory usage for the send buffer,<n>*1000bytes (default:1000).-maxuploadtarget=<n>β Tries to keep outbound traffic under the given target per 24h. Limit does not apply to peers with'download'permission or blocks created within past week.0= no limit (default:0M). Optional suffix units[k|K|m|M|g|G|t|T](default:M). Lowercase is 1000 base while uppercase is 1024 base. Bandwidth budget, bestie. πΈ-natpmpβ Use PCP or NAT-PMP to map the listening port (default:0).-networkactiveβ Enable all P2P network activity (default:1). Can be changed by thesetnetworkactiveRPC command.-onion=<ip:port|path>β okay so this one lets you use a separate SOCKS5 proxy just for reaching peers through Tor onion services π§ β¨. Set-noonionto disable it (default:-proxy). It can also be a local file path prefixed withunix:.-onlynet=<net>β makes automatic outbound connections go only to network<net>β the valid tea isipv4,ipv6,onion,i2p,cjdnsπ. Inbound and manual connections are not affected by this option, no cap. You can specify it multiple times to allow multiple networks π .-peerblockfiltersβ serve compact block filters to peers per BIP 157 (default:0) π.-peerbloomfiltersβ support filtering of blocks and transactions with bloom filters (default:1) πΈ.-port=<port>β listen for connections on<port>(default:1331, testnet3:17777, testnet4:48333, signet:31331, regtest:18888) π₯. Not relevant for I2P (seedoc/i2p.md). If set to a value x, the default onion listening port will be set to x+1.-proxy=<ip:port|path>β connect through SOCKS5 proxy, set-noproxyto disable (default: disabled) π«Ά. May be a local file path prefixed withunix:if the proxy supports it.-proxyrandomizeβ randomize credentials for every proxy connection. This enables Tor stream isolation (default:1) π§.-seednode=<ip>β connect to a node to retrieve peer addresses, and disconnect. This option can be specified multiple times to connect to multiple nodes. During startup, seednodes will be tried before dnsseeds π±.-timeout=<n>β specify socket connection timeout in milliseconds. If an initial attempt to connect is unsuccessful after this amount of time, drop it (minimum:1, default:5000) β³.-torcontrol=<ip>:<port>β Tor control host and port to use if onion listening is enabled (default:127.0.0.1:9051). If no port is specified, the default port of9051will be used ποΈ.-torpassword=<pass>β Tor control port password (default: empty) π.-v2transportβ support v2 transport (default:1) π.-whitebind=<[permissions@]addr>β bind to the given address and add permission flags to the peers connecting to it. Use[host]:portnotation for IPv6 π. Allowed permissions:bloomfilter(allow requesting BIP37 filtered blocks and transactions),noban(do not ban for misbehavior; implies download),forcerelay(relay transactions that are already in the mempool; implies relay),relay(relay even in-blocksonlymode, and unlimited transaction announcements),mempool(allow requesting BIP35 mempool contents),download(allow getheaders during IBD, no disconnect after maxuploadtarget limit),addr(responses to GETADDR avoid hitting the cache and contain random records with the most up-to-date info). Specify multiple permissions separated by commas (default:download,noban,mempool,relay). Can be specified multiple times π«.-whitelist=<[permissions@]IP address or network>β add permission flags to the peers using the given IP address (e.g.1.2.3.4) or CIDR-notated network (e.g.1.2.3.0/24). Uses the same permissions as-whitebindπ¦. Additional flagsinandoutcontrol whether permissions apply to incoming connections and/or manual (default: incoming only). Can be specified multiple times.
π Wallet options π
-addresstypeβ what type of addresses to use (legacy,p2sh-segwit,bech32, orbech32m, default:bech32) π³.-avoidpartialspendsβ group outputs by address, selecting many (possibly all) or none, instead of selecting on a per-output basis. Privacy is improved as addresses are mostly swept with fewer transactions and outputs are aggregated in clean change addresses π§Ό. It may result in higher fees due to less optimal coin selection caused by this added limitation and possibly a larger-than-necessary number of inputs being used. Always enabled for wallets withavoid_reuseenabled, otherwise default:0.-changetypeβ what type of change to use (legacy,p2sh-segwit,bech32, orbech32m). Default islegacywhen-addresstype=legacy, else it is an implementation detail π.-consolidatefeerate=<amt>β the maximum feerate (inGRS/kvB) at which transaction building may use more inputs than strictly necessary so that the wallet's UTXO pool can be reduced (default:0.0001) π§Ή.-disablewalletβ do not load the wallet and disable wallet RPC calls π«.-discardfee=<amt>β the fee rate (inGRS/kvB) 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 πΈ.-fallbackfee=<amt>β a fee rate (inGRS/kvB) that will be used when fee estimation has insufficient data.0to entirely disable the fallbackfee feature. (default:0.0002) π.-keypool=<n>β 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 π.
β οΈ bestie, that keypool warning is real β smaller sizes can increase the risk of losing funds when restoring from an old backup if none of the original keypool addresses were used. Be careful with your backups π.
-maxapsfee=<n>β spend up to this amount in additional (absolute) fees (inGRS) if it allows the use of partial spend avoidance (default:0.00) πͺ.-mintxfee=<amt>β fee rates (inGRS/kvB) smaller than this are considered zero fee for transaction creation (default:0.00001) β¨.-paytxfee=<amt>β fee rate (inGRS/kvB) to add to transactions you send (default:0.00) π¬.-signer=<cmd>β external signing tool, seedoc/external-signer.mdβοΈ.-spendzeroconfchangeβ spend unconfirmed change when sending transactions (default:1) πΈ.-txconfirmtarget=<n>β ifpaytxfeeis not set, include enough fee so transactions begin confirmation on average withinnblocks (default:6) π―.-wallet=<path>β specify wallet path to load at startup. Can be used multiple times to load multiple wallets. Path is to a directory containing wallet data and log files. If the path is not absolute, it is interpreted relative to<walletdir>. This only loads existing wallets and does not create new ones. For backwards compatibility this also accepts names of existing top-level data files in<walletdir>ποΈ.-walletbroadcastβ make the wallet broadcast transactions (default:1) π£.-walletdir=<dir>β specify directory to hold wallets (default:<datadir>/walletsif it exists, otherwise<datadir>) π.-walletnotify=<cmd>β execute command when a wallet transaction changes.%sincmdis replaced by TxID,%wis replaced by wallet name,%bis replaced by the hash of the block including the transaction (set tounconfirmedif the transaction is not included) and%his replaced by the block height (-1if not included) π.%wis not currently implemented on windows. On systems where%wis supported, it should NOT be quoted because this would break shell escaping used to invoke the command.
β οΈ okay so the %w thing is a real one β on systems where itβs supported, do NOT quote it, because that would break the shell escaping used to invoke the command π.
-walletrbfβ send transactions with full-RBF opt-in enabled (RPC only, default:1) π.
π‘ ZeroMQ notification options π‘

This option can be specified multiple times to output multiple categories.-debugexclude=<category>β exclude debug and trace logging for a category. Can be used in conjunction with-debug=1to output debug and trace logging for all categories except the specified category. This option can be specified multiple times to exclude multiple categories. This takes priority over-debugπ«.-help-debugβ print help message with debugging options and exit π.-logipsβ include IP addresses in debug output (default:0) π.-loglevelalwaysβ always prepend a category and level (default:0) π·οΈ.-logsourcelocationsβ prepend debug output with name of the originating source location (source file, line number and function name) (default:0) π.-logthreadnamesβ prepend debug output with name of the originating thread (default:0) π§΅.-logtimestampsβ prepend debug output with timestamp (default:1) β°.-maxtxfee=<amt>β maximum total fees (inGRS) to use in a single wallet transaction; setting this too low may abort large transactions (default:0.10) π.-printtoconsoleβ send trace/debug info to console (default:1when no-daemon.

You can use this multiple times to specify multiple seed nodes; defaults to the global default signet test network seed node(s). π¦-testnetβ use the testnet3 chain, equivalent to-chain=test. Support for testnet3 is deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming release. Consider moving to testnet4 now by using-testnet4. π-testnet4β use the testnet4 chain, equivalent to-chain=testnet4. β¨
