 prune:: Reduce the disk space requirements to this many megabytes, by deleting old blocks. Use this on a resource-constrained node that can't fit the full blockchain.
 
-txindex:: Maintain an index of all transactions. This means a complete copy of the blockchain and allows you to programmatically retrieve any transaction by ID.

 maxconnections:: Set the maximum number of nodes from which to accept connections. Reducing this from the default will reduce your bandwidth consumption. Use if you have a data cap or pay by the gigabyte.
 
 maxmempool:: Limit the transaction memory pool to this many megabytes. Use it to reduce memory use of the node.
 
-maxreceivebuffer/maxsendbuffer:: Limit per-connection memory buffer to this many * 1000 bytes. Use on memory-constrained nodes.
+maxreceivebuffer/maxsendbuffer:: Limit per-connection memory buffer to this many multiples of 1000 bytes. Use on memory-constrained nodes.
 
 minrelaytxfee:: Set the minimum fee transaction you will relay. Below this value, the transaction is treated as zero fee. Use this on memory-constrained nodes to reduce the size of the in-memory transaction pool.
