Title: Using .conf files Post by: GlowingGypsie on October 11, 2019, 10:58:37 AM Im running bitcoin on a Mac. How can I use a custom .conf file? On linux I cause parameters like -conf right?
I pasted the .conf file into Application Support/bitcoin but I need to let the app somehow know that I want to apply the .conf file to it. Any advice?

On windows, I use notepad++I pasted the .conf file into Application Support/bitcoin but I need to let the app somehow know that I want to apply the .conf file to it. Any advice? I am not sure for Mac, I think you should try Textmate: https://macromates.com/ https://github.com/textmate/textmate/releases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TextMate Quote TextMate is a general-purpose GUI text editor for macOS created by Allan Odgaard.

No you don't... if your bitcoin.conf file is in that directory, then Bitcoin Core should use it automagically. To confirm that it is, if using GUI, you should be able to goto "Settings -> Options -> Main" and click the "Open Configuration File" button:https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/15/z5O53.png It should open the file in your default text editor and you'll see the contents of the file... you should even be able to edit/save it and then when you restart Bitcoin Core the changes will be activated.

Since you are running Mac, and Using CLI to run your bitcoind These should apply in your case Sample bitcoin.conf https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/share/examples/bitcoin.conf default Path to bitcoin.conf $HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ Or /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf Your bitcoind should read bitcoin.conf from those default paths Or you could override it using -conf option example bitcoind -conf=path_comes_here Thanks |
