Configuring with joinmarket.cfg

The joinmarket.cfg file looks like this.

[BLOCKCHAIN]
blockchain_source = blockr
#options: blockr, json-rpc, regtest 
#before using json-rpc read https://github.com/chris-belcher/joinmarket/wiki/Running-JoinMarket-with-Bitcoin-Core-full-node
network = testnet
bitcoin_cli_cmd = bitcoin-cli

[MESSAGING]
host = irc.snoonet.org
channel = joinmarket-pit
port = 6697
usessl = true
socks5 = false
socks5_host = 127.0.0.1
socks5_port = 9150

It has simple options for changing the bitcoin network, blockchain source and irc options.

Network can be mainnet or testnet

bitcoin_cli_cmd is the cli command to invoke bitcoin-cli. Can add other parameters here too e.g.

/home/myuser/bitcoin/bitcoin-0.10.0/bin/bitcoin-cli -datadir=/my/path/to/.bitcoin
