Title: is blockchain pre loaded hardware an option ?
Post by: steeev on July 02, 2014, 02:14:05 AM

As there are asic mining hardware setups, and hardware wallets, is it an option to produce plug and play storage for the blockchain ?
I don't see an option to choose where to store the blockchain in the core client as it stands - is this a likely development to encourage something like this to be possible ?

Code:
-datadir=<dir>
