Instructions for changing the directory of the blockchain data/snapshot for the defichain wallet
Procedure using Windows 10 as an example:
- Make sure that the DeFiChain app is closed
- Open directory C:\Users\<username>\.defi
- Open the file
defi.confin text editor - add line:
datadir=<storage directory blockchain data>Important: The line has to be added before the[main]chapter) - If you move the default Folder from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\DeFi Blockchain to the new directory change the
walletdir=<storage directory blockchain data>\wallets - Example:
rpcauth=something
rpcuser=something
rpcpassword=something
rpcpassword=something
rpcpassword=something
datadir=D:\defichain
[main]
wallet=Wallet.dat
walletdir=D:\defichain\wallets
- Save file and start app
- The app now recreates the blockchain folders in the datadir and will start with a complete download of the whole blockchain. (16.3.2021 ca. 25GB)
- If a blockchain folder already exists in the new path, then enter it in the path. For example datadir=D:\ defichain\Defi Blockchain This makes it possible to copy the blockchain into the new directory beforehand without having to start a new sync.
The app 2.3.3 work correctly with a moved directory.
