Title: XPM question
Post by: lamiomni on August 01, 2013, 03:17:18 PM
Does anyone knows where the primechain is stored locally on linux so I can copy it to another computer without redownload it from the network?

I thought copying ~/.primecoin/ would suffice but my primecoind is redownloading the whole primechain, any idea?

Many thanks in advance!

It's called the blockchain, and it's the entire "blocks" directory under your primecoin folder.
Right now it's only ~70MB, so it's not too big.

If you're not 100% sure, you can copy everything over but the wallet.dat and the "testnet" folder (if you have one).

Ok, thank you for your answer, so I might have a problem since I copied the whole directory, and it redownloaded everything... I will investigate further...

Edit: problem found: scp -r MY_SERVER:~/.primecoin ~/.primecoin copied .primecoin into .primecoin leading to .primecoin/.primecoin fixed with: scp -r MY_SERVER:~/.primecoin ~
