-#### [Optional, recommended] Setting up blocknotify
-  * For stratum initialization options set `blockNotifyListener.enabled` to true
-  * Set the `blockNotifyListener.port` and `blockNotifyListener.password`
-  * For the blocknotify arguments in your daemon startup parameters or conf file, use:
-
-    ```
-    [path to blockNotify.js]
-    [pool host]:[pool blockNotifyListener port]
-    [blockNotifyListener password]
-    [coin symbol set in coin's json config]
-    %s"
-    ```
-
-    * Example: `dogecoind -blocknotify="scripts/blockNotify.js localhost:8117 mySuperSecurePassword doge %s"`
-    * If your daemon is on a different host you will have to copy over `scripts/blockNotify.js`
