Title: Problem transfering the blockchain
Post by: Bakemono on April 18, 2013, 01:03:31 PM
Hi i tried to transfer the blockchain from my laptop to another computer.

I copied all the blk*.dat and rev*.dat files from the c:/.../bitcoin/blocks folder into 2 dvds and then in the .../bitcoins/blocks folder of the second pc.

The problem is that when i opened bitcoin-qt on my second computer it gave me an error msg about the blockchain and started downloading the chain from the beginning.

So what am i doing wrong?
(actually i m not even sure if all those .dat files are the actual blockchain but anyway)

Thank you.
