I used keypool=10000 in the conf file but bitcoin-cli -getinfo shows "keypoolsize":1000. Why?
Setting keypool size in the conf file

keypoolsize only shows how many keys are currently in the keypool. It does not reflect the maximum size of the keypool. The keypool=<n> option does not automatically fill the keypool to that size, you will need to refill it by using keypoolrefill.
If after keypoolrefill you still do not see a larger keypool, then that means your bitcoin.conf file is either named incorrectly, located in the wrong location, or formatted incorrectly.
Try running

This sort of thing is almost totally irrelevant with HD wallets. – Anonymous – 2018-10-25T07:44:55.033
