Operational Configuration

Default configuration is generally optimal for initial block download. Once the node is fully synchronized the following settings changes are recommended. See also initial configuration.

[network]
inbound_connections = 100
outbound_connections = 8
channel_expiration_minutes = 1440
# self = 0.0.0.0:0

[node]
block_poll_seconds = 60
relay_transactions = true

[server]
query_workers = 1
subscription_limit = 1000
heartbeat_interval_seconds = 5
block_service_enabled = true
transaction_service_enabled = true

Network

These settings enable more channels, giving better visibility to blocks and transactions. Also setting self advertises the address to peers so that the node will start to receive incoming connections.

Node

Transaction relay should be re-enabled once the node is synchronized. Block polling can be reduved to 60 seconds once synchronized in order to reduce the occurrence of redundant block downloads.

Server

These settings enable the server endpoints and a nonzero subscription_limit enables address subscription.
