Blockchain folder

Instructions for changing the directory of the blockchain data for the defichain wallet

Procedure using Windows 10 as an example

1. open directory C:\Users\<username>\.defi
2. open file defi.conf in text editor
3. add line: datadir=<storage directory blockchain data> (example: datadir=D:\defichain) (Important: The line has to be added before the Main Chapter)
4. Example: {| class="wikitable" !rpcauth=something rpcuser=something rpcpassword=something rpcbind=127.0.0.1 rpcport=8555 datadir=D:\defichain [main] wallet=Wallet.dat |}
5. Save file and start wallet
6. 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.
