Title: Disabling wallet to a Full Node
Post by: miguelmorales85 on August 22, 2015, 02:56:53 AM
I would like to clone my running full node from a PC to another.

Right now my node has a wallet (wallet.dat file). If I change my node to be wallet-less should I have to download again the whole BlockChain and reindex everything?

Could it be possible to copy my current node's folder to another device and have two nodes????

You can copy the entire directory and remove the wallet as well as using the disablewallet flag and still have the node work properly. The wallet does not contain any blockchain information
