And now maybe another stupid question: The Bitcoin Daemon doesn't do any mining? I haven't found any option with which I can switch off mining. As far as I understand, the mining software runs separately and only uses the Bitcoin Daemon to communicate with the network. Is my understanding correct? In that case, there would be nothing else for me to do at this point, because I don't want to mine.
Yes, the mining commands
generatetoaddress or
generate do not automatically run since it's only recommended to use in RegTest.
And AFAIK, even in the old versions, the "
Generate Coin" option wasn't toggled on by default.
