Parameter	Description
--ledger-db	Path to sync ledger to; will build ledger locally.
--poll-interval	Frequency of polling nodes for block height to trigger sync.
--peer	Consensus Validator to check block height and to submit transactions. When multiple peers are provided, transactions are submitted in a round-robin fashion. Note: We use a URI scheme with mc:// preceding the address of the node.
--tx-source-url	Location in S3 from which to pull blocks for syncing the ledger locally.
--mobilecoind-db	Local wallet DB holds keys and transactions.
--service-port	API port for grpc commands. The python wallet will use this port.
