Most bitcoin.conf options apply to all three networks, however some apply only to mainnet unless specified in a section. As stands, conf file has no indication that sections are now in use or are in some circumstances mandatory (eg, changing rpcport for testnet.) Proposed change notifies the reader early which options are affected, specifically adds those options affected but not already in the example, adds brief explanation as to what's going on and provides a skeleton template for the sections themselves.

## Quick Primer on addnode vs connect ##
|
|
## Let's say for instance you use addnode=4.2.2.4 ##
|
|
## addnode will connect you to and tell you about the ##
|
|
## nodes connected to 4.2.2.4. In addition it will tell ##
|
|
## the other nodes connected to it that you exist so ##
|
|
## they can connect to you. ##
|
|
## connect will not do the above when you 'connect' to it. ##
|
|
## It will *only* connect you to 4.2.2.4 and no one else.##
|
|
## ##
|
|
## So if you're behind a firewall, or have other problems ##
|
|
## finding nodes, add some using 'addnode'. ##
|
|
## ##
|
|
## If you want to stay private, use 'connect' to only ##
|
|
## connect to "trusted" nodes. ##
|
|
## ##
|
|
## If you run multiple nodes on a LAN, there's no need for ##
|
|
## all of them to open lots of connections. Instead ##
|
|
## 'connect' them all to one node that is port forwarded ##
|
|
## and has lots of connections. ##
|
|
## Thanks goes to [Noodle] on Freenode. ##
