The configuration is merely used to know how to connect to the service.
It does not affect the running service in any way.

Do use "GNUNET_PROGRAM_run()" (or GNUNET_SERVICE_run()) which will give

You may want to use deb.taler.net, there we have 0.14.0 precompiled
binaries. Instructions on how to setup your repo for this are at

Happy hacking!
