# NOTES
# ==============================================================================
# - Lines starting with # are comments
# - Remove # to enable an option
# - Restart Dogecoin Core after making changes
# - Keep your RPC credentials secure if enabled
# - Monitor disk space if not pruning
# - Higher dbcache values improve sync speed but use more RAM
