Ah, fair enough. I use Gemini pro. It told me to mess with a bunch of config files. Eric was just like, yeah no, don't do that Slack chat: "evoskuil 9 minutes ago bn --help expatriotic is me 9 minutes ago Gemini says now I run: source ~/.bashrc mkdir -p ~/.config/bitcoin nano ~/.config/bitcoin/bn.cfg [database] directory = /home/satoshi/libbitcoin-data [node] network = mainnet mkdir ~/libbitcoin-data screen -S node bn evoskuil 8 minutes ago Ignore gemini expatriotic is me 8 minutes ago Will do. evoskuil 8 minutes ago bn --settings shows all of the current config file settings. you don't need to set any of them. 2:22 bn --hardware (or bn -d) shows the build hardware optimizations. 2:23 bn --config path allows you to specify a config file to run with. (edited) 2:23 A bunch of the others are just for development diagnostics. 2:24 But you can try it out by just running bn with nothing else. 2:25 These are runtime options you can type at the console with the node running: 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [a]pplication 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [n]ews 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [s]ession 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [p]rotocol 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [x]proxy 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [r]emote 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [f]ault 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [q]uitting 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [o]bjects 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Toggle: [v]erbose 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [b]ackup the store 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [c]lose the node 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [e]rrors in store 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [g]o network communication 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [h]old network communication 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [i]nfo about store 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [m]enu of options and toggles 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [t]est built-in case 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [w]ork distribution 2025-10-11T19:24:23Z.0 Option: [z]eroize disk full error 2:25 You can bring that up when it's running by hitting m <enter>. 2:26 toggles are logging enable/disable, options are other things. 2:29 What do you get from bn -d?"
