Title: How to deal with altcoin wallets that sync everything to user folder? Post by: btguydude on December 15, 2015, 09:08:03 PM My Windows partition is limited, and when I've to reinstall Windows - I want to not have to copy a bunch of stuff off of that drive. That's how my system is set up now.
I noticed that many wallets don't let you choose the folder and just sync it to the user folder... Is there any way to deal with that? Whether it's GUI or not? I'm asking here generally, because it's widespread it seems... Title: Re: How to deal with altcoin wallets that sync everything to user folder?

Just add --datadir=<path> to the starting command where <path> is the path to the directory you want the data to be stored in.

Thanks, I'll do that for all the command line ones. What about the ones that have a GUI that doesn't offer such options, though?
