-alertnotify=<cmd>
Execute command when a relevant alert is received or we see a really
long fork (%s in cmd is replaced by message)
-blocknotify=<cmd>
Execute command when the best block changes (%s in cmd is replaced by
block hash)
-assumevalid=<hex>
If this block is in the chain assume that it and its ancestors are valid
and potentially skip their script verification (0 to verify all,
default:
000000000000000c01e55cb55bcb15f700d79563efcbdecf8ab5aaee33dcfa49,

allow manual pruning via RPC, >945 = automatically prune block
files to stay under the specified target size in MiB)
