tidecoin.conf Reference

tidecoin.conf is the static configuration file used by tidecoind, tidecoin-qt, and tidecoin-cli. It lives in the data directory unless another path is supplied with -conf.

This page explains configuration structure. The generated example file ../tidecoin/share/examples/tidecoin.conf is the exhaustive option reference for a built release.

File Format

Use one option=value entry per line:

server=1
txindex=1
rest=1

Rules:

• omit the leading dash used on the command line;
• comments start with #;
• blank lines are ignored;
• most boolean options can be negated with no, such as noconnect=1;
• changes require node restart unless the setting is explicitly runtime-managed.

Precedence

From lowest to highest practical precedence:

Check debug.log when a setting appears ignored; unknown config options are reported there.

Network Sections

Use sections for network-specific settings:

server=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1

[test]
rpcport=18756

[regtest]
rpcport=18443

Valid section names are [main], [test], and [regtest]. You can also use prefix syntax such as regtest.rpcport=18443.

Common Minimal Node

server=1
txindex=0
listen=1
v2transport=1

Integration Node Example

server=1
txindex=1
rest=1
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28333
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcauth=<generated-rpcauth-line>

Do not expose RPC, REST, or ZMQ directly to the public internet.

Data Directory Locations

Some legacy Windows installations may use a roaming Tidecoin directory; see Data Directory.
