Since you can't search

[JoeBitcoinusr44]

Just a simple question since the search function seems to be broken.
On a Linux Bitcoin Core there is no $HOME/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Where can I find an example one to set up specific items for this bitcoin node I have setup?

Thank you

Read this: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bitcoin-conf.md

Then this: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bitcoin-conf.md?plain=1

And finally you can use this: https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/

There are other sources too, but this should be plenty enough.

Are you talking about the forum search engine?
If so, it's always better to use Google and add site:bitcointalk.org to the search.


You may find bitlist.co helpful too.
Bitlist.co is a bitcointalk archive, and you can visit the following topic for more information about it.

I believe he is referring to Linux, where he is attempting to search for the Bitcoin.conf file, rather than the forum search feature.
He maybe can't find that file through find command.


@OP I think you can't find it if the Bitcoin.conf file is not actually exist.

Try creating a bitcoin.conf file you can generate one from this link below

- https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/

Or check this folder ~/.bitcoin/

If you still can't find it, would you mind to try finding the bitcoin.conf file on the Bitcoin Core GUI under settings> Option and then "Open Configuration File".

OP probably never create or modify bitcoin.conf, which is why he didn't find that file.

The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite text editor. By default, the configuration file name is bitcoin.conf and it is located in the Bitcoin data directory,

For other reader, Bitcoin data directory means location where you store Bitcoin blockchain data/files.

Sometimes the writing of users is hard to interpret and we interpret it depending on our own backgrounds. If the implication is that he is able to search for that file on Linux, then my reasonable assumption is that he is able to create the file on his own where appropriate. In the follow up question he is asking for examples, and therefore with this basic linux knowledge he was just missing the contents of such a file. With the links that everyone has provided he should be good to go. I have always wondered why Bitcoin Core refuses to make an example bitcoin.conf file be generated on the first run with some main options commented out and with descriptions for how they can be used. Not doing this does not benefit anyone and doing this would have spared us many of these questions over the years across many platforms.

If you've downloaded the tarball from bitcoin core's website,
there should be a sample 713-line bitcoin.conf in it that contains instructions and commented configs with explanations of what can it do.
Just extract it and you'll find the sample conf inside "bitcoin-31.0" dir where you extracted the file.

Just uncomment the ones that you need.
Of course, that file wont work if it's left there instead of moving it to your datadir.
