I am setting up a Bitcoin shop and I have a couple of questions as follows -

  • When using the bitcoind daemon, if I modify/delete the bitcoin.conf file, are there are repercussions doing this?
  • More specifically, if I use 'keypool=1000', and then in a few months time decide I need a larger number of addresses, can I simply change this to 100000 and restart the daemon? Will the previous wallets/addresses be removed?

Thanks

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

If you modify or delete the file you may lose the settings in it.. thats it.

You can increase the keypool at any time. Additional keys will be added the next time you unlock it if it's encrypted.
