    Hey

    I want to configure my bitcoin node to minimize resources on my server as I am on pay as you go service. Allowing the bitcoin node to run in it full capacity consumes a lot of resource.
    What is your recommended bitcoin.conf configuration to minimize resource to the minimal and have the plugin work well as expected.

    I installed the plugin to enable my users to send and receive bitcoin and also send to other users on the same site.

    I went to this page https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/ to generate a sample bitcoin.conf configuration. But I don’t know exactly what to consider for the sake of this plugin

    I need some guide.
    Purpose of this is basically for resource control.

    Hello,

    In addition to my earlier reply to this, I also want to add that this plugin is not built with conservation of bandwidth in mind.

    You might be able to configure the wallet to consume less bandwidth, although I do not know how. But the plugin does a lot of requests over JSON RPC to the wallet, with emphasis on presenting fresh data, not on saving bandwidth.

    Having said this, you should be able to conserve some bandwidth if you increase your cron interval, as the cron job does requests on the wallet on every heartbeat. If you are concerned about bandwidth usage on your WordPress machine, you can also increase the interval at which exchange rates are loaded.

    Thanks for the link to that config generator, I didn’t know about it. I am not sure if it will help you conserve bandwidth though. The wallets plugin recommends the minimal amount of bitcoin.conf settings needed, but you can add more if you find any options that you think might help.

    Again, you will learn more if you ask Bitcoin core developers or people who provide support for the Bitcoin core wallet, as this is a question about that wallet.

    kind regards
