rpcport=***any port(mine is 8001)****

Prolly a dumb question, but are the first 3 lines necessary and does it matter what I put for user and pass, are those same ones used somewhere else? Thanks.
The port isn't required, but recommended so you can check what port it is at a later time. If you don't specify one, it'll use the default port number of the coin and you may have to look it up.
The username/password can be reused (honestly, I copy/paste settings from different coins for solidarity, still should be secure, though)
