Title: how to install bitcoin-qt in different directory (debian - linux)? Post by: adambeazley on July 09, 2013, 06:45:38 PM Hello,
I am trying to setup an Armory bitcoin wallet on the persistent drive of a Tails bootable USB stick and am having a little trouble installing bitcoin-qt. For one, i keep running out of hard drive space, but I have a 16GB persistent partition, so i have a feeling that the place where .bitcoin is located is not in that persistent portion. So, is there a way to update the blockchain using bitcoin-qt and making that blockchain download to the persistent dir instead of the home dir? Tais is based on the debian distro of linux. i know there is a way to do this in windows, but I havent found any instructions for how to do this in linux. Thanks, Title: Re: how to install bitcoin-qt in different directory (debian - linux)? Post by: adambeazley on July 09, 2013, 11:35:25 PM bump
