Are you running Bitcoin Core from the CLI? If so, I just start it like this:
No, well, I think mentioning "command" was wrong here. I meant the console tab in the wallet.
For example, with dumpprivkey, I can get the private key of a certain address. There is a code to check if the wallet is prune or not. Anyway, it's not anymore necessary since I used GUI and its default setting as you said.
If you use the GUI, pruned mode is the default setting when you install Bitcoin Core.
I didn't know that, neither did I check any steps when I installed the wallet
(I never got the logic behind the location of configuration files)
I don't know. I am used to doing this with some other wallets (altcoin) too. So, I'm following the same. The location of the configuration file doesn't matter at all?
If you ever want to import an old private key, a pruned node will require to download the blockchain again.
Damn! Then I shouldn't go with prune mode, right? I didn't think about that lol.
