In addition it will tell ## ## the other nodes connected to it that you exist so ## ## they can connect to you. ## ## connect will not do the above when you 'connect' to it. ## ## It will *only* connect you to 4.2.2.4 and no one else.## ## ## ## So if you're behind a firewall, or have other problems ## ## finding nodes, add some using 'addnode'. ## ## ## ## If you want to stay private, use 'connect' to only ## ## connect to "trusted" nodes. ## ## ## ## If you run multiple nodes on a LAN, there's no need for ## ## all of them to open lots of connections. Instead ## ## 'connect' them all to one node that is port forwarded ## ## and has lots of connections. ## ## Thanks goes to [Noodle] on Freenode. ## ############################################################## # Use as many addnode= settings as you like to connect to specific peers #addnode=69.164.218.197 #addnode=10.0.0.2:9333 # Alternatively use as many connect= settings as you like to connect ONLY to specific peers #connect=69.164.218.197 #connect=10.0.0.1:9333 # Listening mode, enabled by default except when 'connect' is being used #listen=1 # Maximum number of inbound+outbound connections. #maxconnections= # # JSON-RPC options (for controlling a running Bitcoin/bitcoind process) # # server=1 tells Bitcoin-Qt and bitcoind to accept JSON-RPC commands #server=0 # Bind to given address to listen for JSON-RPC connections.
