Procedure using Windows 10 as an example:

  1. Make sure that the DeFiChain app is closed
  2. Open directory C:\Users\<username>\.defi
  3. Open the file defi.conf in text editor
  4. add line: datadir=<storage directory blockchain data> Important: The line has to be added before the [main] chapter)
  5. Example:
rpcauth=something

rpcuser=something

rpcpassword=something

rpcpassword=something

rpcpassword=something

datadir=D:\defichain

[main]

wallet=Wallet.dat

  1. Save file and start app
  2. 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)

The app 2.3.1 does not work correctly with a moved directory.
