Node Settings
Commands entered via Command-line do not override the settings of your beam-node.cfg file.
The beam-node.cfg file loads all the settings not dictated by the Command-line. To revert to the original settings of yourbeam-node.cfgfile, manually restart your Beam node.
Users can adjust and configure node settings via the Command Line or by editing thebeam-node.cfg file (located in the node_folder).
Node settings (parameters)
--port (or -p) | Port to start the server on. |
|---|---|
--log_level | Log level [info|debug|verbose]. |
--file_log_level | File log level [info|debug|verbose]. |
--log_cleanup_days | Old logfiles cleanup period (measured in days). |
Node options (parameters)
Node options can be plugged directly into thebeam-node.cfgfile or enter them via the command line.
--storage | Path to the node database file (defaults to node.db). |
|---|---|
--miner_key | The secret key that attributes the mining rewards mined by the node to your wallet created using CLI wallet export_miner_key command with --subkey=<miner id> parameter. |
--owner_key | A secret key that allows the node to monitor mining rewards accumulated by all the mining nodes associated with this key. Created using CLI wallet export_owner_keycommand. |
--pass | The wallet password (both theminer_keyand owner_keyare password protected). |
--stratum_port | Porton which stratum server will scan for incoming connections. Port=0if the stratum server is disabled. |
--stratum_secrets_path | Pathto the folder containing stratum certificates. |
--peer | Nodes that are available for connection. |
CPU Mining for Beam is not recommended.
Beam uses an Equihash mining algorithm with (150,5) parameters and a customized data path that is inefficiently mined on CPUs.
Node options (continued)
-h (or --help) | Prints a list of all available options and commands. |
|---|---|
-v (or --version) | Prints latest project version. |
--git_commit_hash | Prints git commit hash value. |
--fast_sync | Fast sync on/off (override horizons) |
--print_txo | Print TXO movements (create/spend) recognized by the owner key. |
--peers_persistent | Keep a persistent connection to the specified peers, regardless of ratings |
--mining_threads | a number of mining threads(there is no mining if 0). It works if FakePoW is enabled |
--pow_solve_time | pow solve time. It works if FakePoW is enabled |
--verification_threads | number of threads for cryptographic verifications (0 = single thread, -1 = auto) |
--history_dir | Path to the folder where compressed (cut-through) history files are stored. Defaults to the same folder. |
--temp_dir | Path to temp folder for compressed history files. Must be on the same volume as history_dir |
--stratum_use_tls | Enable TLS on stratum server |
--nonceprefix_digits | number of hex digits for nonce prefix for stratum client (0..6) |
--generate_recovery | Recovery file to generate immediately after the start |
--recovery_auto_path | Path and file prefix for recovery auto-generation |
--recovery_auto_period | Period (in blocks) for recovery auto-generation |
Make running your local node in fast sync mode easier with the following command:
./beam-node --port=10000 --peer=eu-nodes.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,us-nodes.mainnet.beam.mw:8100 --fast_sync=on
