Client Configuration

GUI configuration

<NEEDED> cover conf options in the GUI

solidcoin.conf

solidcoin.conf is a plan text file which is created by the SolidCoin client on its first run, and accessed during subsequent runs. The file stores settings such as networking options, mining options and so on.

The GUI client updates solidcoin.conf in real time when the user makes changes to any settings within the client. Users have a choice whether to edit the file manually or use the GUI to change the settings.

Currently not all available options are configurable via the GUI, so users wishing to amend certain options must edit the .conf file directly.

Directories

solidcoin.conf can be found in the following directories, depending on what Operating System is being used:

Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\SolidCoin2
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\SolidCoin2
Linux: ~/.solidcoin2/ OR /home/{username}/.solidcoin2/

<NEEDED> index of all solidcoin.conf directives with brief explanation.
