Im running bitcoin on a Mac. How can I use a custom .conf file? On linux I cause parameters like -conf right?
I pasted the .conf file into Application Support/bitcoin but I need to let the app somehow know that I want to apply the .conf file to it.

Any advice?

Since you are running Mac, and Using CLI to run your bitcoind

These should apply in your case


Sample bitcoin.conf

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/share/examples/bitcoin.conf

default Path to bitcoin.conf

$HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/

Or
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

Your bitcoind should read bitcoin.conf from those default paths

Or you could override it using -conf option

example

bitcoind -conf=path_comes_here

Thanks
