Title: wallet.dat where I need it?
Post by: Fizpok on May 23, 2013, 04:17:26 PM
Hi,
So far, working with QT-Wallet, I only was able to move them together, the wallet and blockchain. Can I have wallet.dat in one folder, and blockchain in another, completely different?

P.S. Yes, I know how to point from one file to another. But I want it under WinXP, and it does not have this feature.

No way. I have all soft configured, and so on...
