Usage:
bitcoind [options] Start Bitcoin Core Daemon

Options:

-?
Print this help message and exit

-version
Print version and exit

-alertnotify=<cmd>
Execute command when a relevant alert is received or we see a really
long fork (%s in cmd is replaced by message)

-blocknotify=<cmd>
Execute command when the best block changes (%s in cmd is replaced by
block hash)

-assumevalid=<hex>
If this block is in the chain assume that it and its ancestors are valid
and potentially skip their script verification (0 to verify all,
default:
0000000000000000003b9ce759c2a087d52abc4266f8f4ebd6d768b89defa50a,
testnet:

-loadblock=<file>
Imports blocks from external blk000??.dat file on startup

-maxorphantx=<n>
Keep at most <n> unconnectable transactions in memory (default: 100)

-maxmempool=<n>

-prune=<n>
Reduce storage requirements by enabling pruning (deleting) of old
blocks. This allows the pruneblockchain RPC to be called to
delete specific blocks, and enables automatic pruning of old
blocks if a target size in MiB is provided. This mode is
incompatible with -txindex and -rescan. Warning: Reverting this
setting requires re-downloading the entire blockchain. (default:

>550 = automatically prune block files to stay under the
specified target size in MiB)
