list notable command line options

New page

Specifying '''command line options''' can enable additional non-default settings when running Bisq.

See a full list of available options [https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/blob/master/common/src/main/java/bisq/common/config/Config.java#L57 in the code]. This article covers more notable ones for typical use cases.

__TOC__

== Specify a different data directory ==

The default data directory Bisq uses is called "Bisq". All Bisq data is fully contained in it.

But you can specify a different data directory with <code>--appData=BisqTest</code> (change "BisqTest" to whatever you want) and Bisq will create a brand new data directory with a new wallet, keys, onion address, etc (or use the existing data directory with that name if it's already there).

You can use this option to run more than one instance of Bisq at once. This can be helpful to send funds from one Bisq instance to another when [[Switching_to_a_new_data_directory#Send_funds|switching to a new data directory]].

== Dump delayed payout transactions ==

Add the <code>--dumpDelayedPayoutTxs=true</code> option to dump delayed payout transactions in the following files in your data directory:

# delayed_payout_txs_closed.json
# delayed_payout_txs_pending.json
# delayed_payout_txs_failed.json

== Specify a Bitcoin node ==

Sometimes Bisq cannot connect to the node specified in the interface at <code>Settings</code> > <code>Network Info</code>, so starting Bisq with <code>--btcNodes=<node address></code> can help.

== See all Bisq trades ==

See all Bisq trades by running the <code>--dumpStatistics=true</code> option. Then check out the <code>btc_mainnet/db/trade_statistics.json</code>.
