Configuration for Public Testnets

This section shows the BitShres Blockchain configuration file config.ini parameter items. The configuration file locates in your data directory and the most parameter items have been commented and contain the essential settings to adjust.

Example - config.ini (testnet)

Example of a config.ini file in the data directory.

As a default, most parameters have been commented. You have to uncomment to set the values.
