```ini
# default
shared-file-dir = "blockchain"
```

### `shared-file-size`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

Size of the shared memory file.  Default: 54G.  If running a full node, increase this value to 200G or greater.  Always make sure that you have enough resources available.  Set it to at least 25% more than current size.

*Provided values are expected to grow significantly over time.*

* **Full Node** - Shared memory file for full node uses over 300GB
* **Exchange Node** - Shared memory file for exchange node users over 65GB (tracked history for single account)
* **Seed Node** - Shared memory file for seed node uses over 5.5GB
* **Other Use Cases** - Shared memory file size varies, depends on your specific configuration but it is expected to be somewhere between "seed node" and "full node" usage.

See: [#1891](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1891), [#2478](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/2478)

```

### `shared-file-full-threshold`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

A 2 precision percentage (0-10000) that defines the threshold for when to autoscale the shared memory file.  Setting this to 0 disables autoscaling.  Recommended value for consensus node is 9500 (95%).  Full node is 9900 (99%)

See: [#1891](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1891)

```ini
# default
shared-file-full-threshold = 0
```

### `shared-file-scale-rate`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

A 2 precision percentage (0-10000) that defines how quickly to scale the shared memory file.  When autoscaling occurs the file's size will be increased by this percent.  Setting this to 0 disables autoscaling.  Recommended value is between 1000-2000 (10-20%)

See: [#1891](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1891)

```ini
# default
shared-file-scale-rate = 0

### `webserver-http-endpoint`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

Local http endpoint for webserver requests.

See: [#1347](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1347)

```ini
# example, enable only local requests on port 8751

```

```ini
# example, enable all requests from anyone on port 8751

### `webserver-unix-endpoint`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

Unix http endpoint for webserver requests (in addition to http and ws).

Intended for node operators who use nginx or jussi on their front ends and `hived` running on the same box.  Since TCP over localhost is inefficient, the ability to use unix-sockets was added.

Example usage (assuming option set to `/tmp/hived.sock`):

```bash
curl -s --data '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "condenser_api.get_account_count",
  "params": [],
  "id": 1
}' --unix-socket /tmp/hived.sock http:
```

See: [#3205](https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/3205)

```ini
# example
webserver-unix-endpoint = /tmp/hived.sock
```

### `rpc-endpoint`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

Local http and websocket endpoint for webserver requests.

**Deprecated in favor of:** `webserver-http-endpoint` and `webserver-ws-endpoint`, see: [#1297](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1297)

```ini
rpc-endpoint =
```

### `webserver-thread-pool-size`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

Number of threads used to handle queries.  Default: 32.

* must be greater than 0

See: [#1347](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1347)

```ini
# default
webserver-thread-pool-size = 32
```

### `enable-stale-production`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

Enable block production, even if the chain is stale.  Leaving this `false` will keep `hived` from producing blocks until we receive a recent block.

```ini
# default
enable-stale-production = 0
```

### `required-participation`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

```

Often, when starting a custom testnet that has a single block signer, it is acceptable to set `required-participation` to zero.

```ini
# initial custom testnet with low witness count
required-participation = 0
```

### `witness`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>

### `witness-skip-enforce-bandwidth`<a style="float: right" href="#sections"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up fa-sm" /></a>
