I run peercoind like that

`/usr/bin/peercoind -daemon -conf=/root/.peercoin/peercoin.conf > /dev/null 2>&1 &`  
But when I looked log file config file is not loaded.

Deamon starts sync without configuration.

I installed bionic-peercoind\_0.6.4-1\_amd64.deb

Can you check if `-datadir=` does what you want?
