Title: Litecoind -datadir Error: Specified directory does not exist Post by: LoWang on March 10, 2012, 01:08:44 PM Hello, I want to start litecoind with -datadir parameter but it keeps telling me this error. I use Windows XP and I try to point it into a truecrypt mounted drive...
Code: K:\program>litecoind -datadir k:\datadir\ Title: Re: Litecoind -datadir Error: Specified directory does not exist Post by: terrytibbs on March 10, 2012, 01:20:07 PM Try using forward slashes, á la Linux.

Title: Re: Litecoind -datadir Error: Specified directory does not exist Post by: LoWang on March 10, 2012, 01:32:02 PM Create it first? bad joke man:) Read my first post carefully and especially the section in the white rectangle. I hope you know what "dir" command doesTitle: Re: Litecoind -datadir Error: Specified directory does not exist Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on March 10, 2012, 01:38:26 PM I see the error now. You need to add the equal sign. As in, -datadir=<path>

I am used to windows style parameters when there is usually no equal sign :-] So now I wonder how long will the LTC blockchain download take ...:)

So in half an hour it got around 90MB of data, so I guess it will take another 4hours... EDIT: So now it looks like pretty stable 300kB/s so it is good. I was afraid it will be as bad as downloading bitcoin blockchain :-] |
