Bitcoin Core question:
Am I missing something here, or?
There is no longer a static example bitcoin.conf, so you have to generate it dynamically using a script (contrib/devtools/gen-bitcoin-conf.sh), but that script is not part of the binary distribution? (right?)
And there isn't documentation listing the meaning of all the configuration options to put into the file (which is what you get by running the above script, I believe)? (maybe I'm wrong? my searching is drawing a blank). As an example of that, see this:
https://github.com/MrChrisJ/fullnode/blob/master/Setup_Guides/bitcoin.conf
.. but that's very old, and obv it's better to be able to create your own.
It used to be the case a long time ago that running bitcoind would autogenerate a bitcoin.conf, but that's no longer true either.
How does someone running bitcoind from the binary distribution, figure out how to set config options?
