 The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite plain-text editor. By default, Terracoin-Qt (or terracoind) will look for a file named 'terracoin.conf' in the terracoin data directory, but both the data directory and the configuration file path may be changed using the -datadir and -conf command-line arguments.
 Note: if running Terracoin in testnet mode, the sub-folder "testnet3" will be appended to the data directory automatically.

 You can only use PrivateSend for payments once you have mixed enough Terracoin to make up the amount you are trying to send. Because the mixing process takes time, it must be done in advance before you create the send transaction. A PrivateSend transaction is effectively the same as any other transaction on the blockchain, but it draws only from input addresses where the denomination has previously been mixed to ensure anonymity of funds. Because several input addresses are usually required to make up the amount you are trying to send, a PrivateSend transaction will usually take up more space (in kilobytes) on the blockchain, and therefore will be charged a slightly higher fee. To send a payment using PrivateSend, go to the Send tab of the Terracoin Core wallet and enable the PrivateSend option. The balance displayed will change to show your PrivateSend balance instead of the total balance. You can then enter the Pay To address, Label, Amount and click Send as usual. Your payment will be rounded up to completely spend the lowest possible denomination of mixed balance available (currently to the nearest 0.01 TRC). You will be prompted to enter your password and receive a detailed breakdown of the fee structure for PrivateSend before sending.

 Firstly, never copy your wallet.dat file while Terracoin Core is open. Always use the File > Backup Wallet menu if the wallet is open.

 You can also use the coin control feature to view which addresses hold mixed denominations ready to be used for PrivateSend transactions. Go to the Send tab of your wallet and click Inputs to view the possible input addresses for your transactions. You can see how each address holds given denominations of mixed Terracoin, and how many rounds of mixing have been completed. This is to ensure that an efficient combination of addresses can be used as inputs in PrivateSend transactions without too much change, since amount in a PrivateSend transaction must be rounded up to completely spend all inputs. The current minimum balance for an input used in a PrivateSend transaction is 0.01000010 Terracoin.
