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:
