Title: Moving staking wallet to external hard drive Post by: Crytptohack on April 18, 2018, 07:57:52 PM I purchased one of those mini pc's to stake a coin, but found out pretty fast that the blockchain takes up a lot of memory, so much that a smaller gigabyte HD will fill up in a month or so.
So I purchased an external HD and moved over the folder. It did free up memory on the mini pc and I thought that the blockchain would now be on the external. But after a week or so, the mini pc is filling up quite fast with the blockchain data. The coin that I have is syndicate. Doe anyone know if I can find the location of the blockchain on the C drive and just move it over? Or do I need to delete everything and start over from the external HD? Thanks!

By any means I'm not a professional with things like this but you should find your blockchain info from %appdata% and then from the corresponding folder. Don't know anything about resyncing it though.

I did a search a week ago and there are questions about moving wallets to external HD's. I'll need to re-read them...

I would advise against staking on an external hard drive. By all means back your wallet up to an external drive but I do not like the idea of running a wallet off one. If you could get something like a stakebox that might be good... stakebox.org |
