Arguments and Commands

Overview

All command-line options (except for -conf) may be specified in a configuration file, and all configuration file options may also be specified on the command line. Command-line options override values set in the configuration file. The configuration file is a list of <setting>=<value> pairs, one per line, with optional comments starting with the # character.

The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite plain-text editor. By default, dimecoin-qt (or dimecoind) will look for a file named dimecoin.conf in the Dimecoin data directory, but both the data directory and the configuration file path may be changed using the -datadir and -conf command-line arguments.

Platform	Path to data folder	Typical path to configuration file
Linux	~/	/home/username/.dimecoin/dimecoin.conf
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/	/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Dimecoin/dimecoin.conf
Windows	%APPDATA%	(Vista-11) C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Dimecoin\dimecoin.conf
Windows	%APPDATA%	(2000-XP) C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Dimecoin\dimecoin.conf

Testnet/Regtest Modes

If running Dimecoin in testnet mode, the sub-folder testnet3 will be appended to the data directory automatically. Likewise, if running in regtest mode, the subfolder `regtest” will be appended to the data directory.
