Overview ¶
ltcd is a full-node bitcoin implementation written in Go.
The default options are sane for most users. This means ltcd will work 'out of the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that can be used to control it.
The following section provides a usage overview which enumerates the flags. An interesting point to note is that the long form of all of these options (except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically parsed when ltcd starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at ~/.ltcd/ltcd.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\ltcd\ltcd.conf on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag, as shown below, can be used to override this location.
Usage:
ltcd [OPTIONS]
Application Options:
-V, --version Display version information and exit -C, --configfile= Path to configuration file -b, --datadir= Directory to store data --logdir= Directory to log output. -a, --addpeer= Add a peer to connect with at startup --connect= Connect only to the specified peers at startup --nolisten Disable listening for incoming connections -- NOTE: Listening is automatically disabled if the --connect or --proxy options are used without also specifying listen interfaces via --listen --listen= Add an interface/port to listen for connections (default all interfaces port: 9333, testnet: 19333) --maxpeers= Max number of inbound and outbound peers (125) --nobanning Disable banning of misbehaving peers --banduration= How long to ban misbehaving peers. Valid time units are {s, m, h}. Minimum 1 second (24h0m0s) --banthreshold= Maximum allowed ban score before disconnecting and banning misbehaving peers. --whitelist= Add an IP network or IP that will not be banned. (eg. 192.168.1.0/24 or ::1) -u, --rpcuser= Username for RPC connections -P, --rpcpass= Password for RPC connections --rpclimituser= Username for limited RPC connections --rpclimitpass= Password for limited RPC connections --rpclisten= Add an interface/port to listen for RPC connections (default port: 9334, testnet: 19334) --rpccert= File containing the certificate file --rpckey= File containing the certificate key --rpcmaxclients= Max number of RPC clients for standard connections (10) --rpcmaxwebsockets= Max number of RPC websocket connections (25) --rpcquirks Mirror some JSON-RPC quirks of Bitcoin Core -- NOTE: Discouraged unless interoperability issues need to be worked around --norpc Disable built-in RPC server -- NOTE: The RPC server is disabled by default if no rpcuser/rpcpass or rpclimituser/rpclimitpass is specified --notls Disable TLS for the RPC server -- NOTE: This is only allowed if the RPC server is bound to localhost --nodnsseed Disable DNS seeding for peers --externalip= Add an ip to the list of local addresses we claim to listen on to peers --proxy= Connect via SOCKS5 proxy (eg. 127.0.0.1:9050) --proxyuser= Username for proxy server --proxypass= Password for proxy server --onion= Connect to tor hidden services via SOCKS5 proxy (eg. 127.0.0.1:9050) --onionuser= Username for onion proxy server --onionpass= Password for onion proxy server --noonion Disable connecting to tor hidden services --torisolation Enable Tor stream isolation by randomizing user credentials for each connection. --testnet Use the test network --regtest Use the regression test network --simnet Use the simulation test network --addcheckpoint= Add a custom checkpoint. Format: '<height>:<hash>' --nocheckpoints Disable built-in checkpoints. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing. --uacomment= Comment to add to the user agent -- See BIP 14 for more information. --dbtype= Database backend to use for the Block Chain (ffldb) --profile= Enable HTTP profiling on given port -- NOTE port must be between 1024 and 65536 --cpuprofile= Write CPU profile to the specified file -d, --debuglevel= Logging level for all subsystems {trace, debug, info, warn, error, critical} -- You may also specify <subsystem>=<level>,<subsystem2>=<level>,... to set the log level for individual subsystems -- Use show to list available subsystems (info) --upnp Use UPnP to map our listening port outside of NAT --minrelaytxfee= The minimum transaction fee in BTC/kB to be considered a non-zero fee. --limitfreerelay= Limit relay of transactions with no transaction fee to the given amount in thousands of bytes per minute (15) --norelaypriority Do not require free or low-fee transactions to have high priority for relaying --maxorphantx= Max number of orphan transactions to keep in memory (100) --generate Generate (mine) bitcoins using the CPU --miningaddr= Add the specified payment address to the list of addresses to use for generated blocks -- At least one address is required if the generate option is set --blockminsize= Mininum block size in bytes to be used when creating a block --blockmaxsize= Maximum block size in bytes to be used when creating a block (750000) --blockprioritysize= Size in bytes for high-priority/low-fee transactions when creating a block (50000) --nopeerbloomfilters Disable bloom filtering support. --nocfilters Disable committed filtering (CF) support. --sigcachemaxsize= The maximum number of entries in the signature verification cache. --blocksonly Do not accept transactions from remote peers. --relaynonstd Relay non-standard transactions regardless of the default settings for the active network. --rejectnonstd Reject non-standard transactions regardless of the default settings for the active network.
