The Merge -- Client Settings

Notice: This document is a work-in-progress for researchers and implementers.

This document specifies configurable settings that merge clients are expected to ship with.

Override terminal total difficulty

To coordinate changes to terminal_total_difficulty, clients should have a setting --terminal-total-difficulty-override.

If TransitionStore has already been initialized, this just changes the value of TransitionStore.terminal_total_difficulty, otherwise it initializes TransitionStore with the specified terminal_total_difficulty.

By default, this setting is expected to not be used and terminal_total_difficulty will be set as defined here.
