- "output_file" for bootstrap.dat or "output" for output directory for linearized blocks/blkNNNNN.dat output
Optional config file setting for linearize-data:
- "netmagic": network magic number (default is 'cee2caff', testnet)
- "genesis": genesis block hash (default is '00000bafbc94add76cb75e2ec92894837288a481e5c005f6563d91623bf8bc2c', testnet)
