Title: [Solved]Alternative solution without using junctions w/ bitcoin client 0.4.
Post by: pekv2 on September 24, 2011, 04:47:54 AM
Edit:
I was having a junction error, you may continue reading about the problem from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45450.msg542058#msg542058

Solution is in this thread for dummies like me.
End of edit:

c_k messaged me cmd lines link for bitcoin 0.4.

In this wiki explains none at all how to use them, none. I put -datadir=<D:\Bitcoin> in the target field of a shortcut from bitcoin client, did nothing. What am I suppose to do with this cmd line arguments?

You are awesome. I been ripping my hair our out for the last few hours.

Could anyone edit that wiki to be a little bit more specific rather than jamming up the forums in which I prefer not to do. Like, do not use the brackets and to use the target section of a shortcut to the bitcoin client.

It's common sense NOT to use <>. Obviously it was a placeholder for the directory path.

How do I even respond to this? Obviously it is not common sense, the only thing I could make of the whole situation was put the cmd in the target field of a shortcut and that was because I've dealt other apps like so, and really it was a good guess. But for the brackets, no, that is not common sense. Common sense is like, don't put your hand in boiling water. So take your insults else where.

Why did you instantly assume it was an insult? Now you have insulted me!
