How do I check this? I cannot find bitcoin.conf and I cannot find a console command that could give me these confirmations.
Your bitcoin.conf should be in:
C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I have located my bitcoin.conf file. To my surprise, it had 0 bytes! From this I infer that default configurations do not get written to bitcoin.conf, ONLY user defined configurations--and I haven't defined any yet. I went to
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin and there I discovered that
All command-line options (except for -conf) may be specified in a configuration file, and all configuration file options may also be specified on the command line. Command-line options override values set in the configuration file. The configuration file is a list of setting=value pairs, one per line, with optional comments starting with the '#' character. The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite plain-text editor. By default, Bitcoin (or bitcoind) will look for a file named 'bitcoin.conf' in the bitcoin data directory
The key point here is that I can use a text editor to edit bitcoin.conf and save there OR I can input from Console and write a configuration to bitcoin.conf I did download Vim but I've never used a text editor and it seems to be a lot of work only to set t(he two Core configurations that bisq requires. So I want to use the console to write these configurations to the bitcoin.conf file: (a) peerbloomfilters=1 and (b) prune=0 I have searched and I cannot find the syntax, lots of general tutorials but little on syntax for specific configurations from the console. Can you help me with this syntax to write these configs. from the console?
Your other responses regarding bisq ports, I'm still working on and will get back. Roughly, I don't understand Tor and port forwarding. I decided to take the bisq documentation at face value. In my router I enabled ports for reg test, testnet, and mainnet. When I get bitcoin.conf configuration correct for bisq.network, then I'll turn on bisq's Full Node and see what happens and get back to you on that.
