Title: Blockchain files and wallet.dat in different folders? Post by: kefky on July 15, 2014, 09:20:04 AM I would like to place the blockchain files in a different location than wallet.dat. Is this possible with Bitcoin Core? ???
(I would like to avoid symlinks and "-datadir" is not a solution...) Title: Re: Blockchain files and wallet.dat in different folders? Post by: BookLover on July 15, 2014, 05:56:50 PM I realize this doesn't put the wallet.dat file in a different location but maybe it will solve your problem:
Code: #Specify wallet file (within data directory) You may get more help if you post exactly what your trying to do. Title: Re: Blockchain files and wallet.dat in different folders?

(I would like to avoid symlinks and "-datadir" is not a solution...) Code: -wallet=<file> Well if zou are looking for all of the options you can visit: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin and as for example Quote Wallet options: -disablewallet Do not load the wallet and disable wallet RPC calls -paytxfee=<amt> Fee per kB to add to transactions you send -rescan Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions -zapwallettxes Clear list of wallet transactions (diagnostic tool; implies -rescan) -salvagewallet Attempt to recover private keys from a corrupt wallet.dat -upgradewallet Upgrade wallet to latest format -wallet=<file> Specify wallet file (within data directory) -walletnotify=<cmd> Execute command when a wallet transaction changes (%s in cmd is replaced by TxID) -spendzeroconfchange Spend unconfirmed change when sending transactions (default: 1) There is a list with all of the command-line options that you can use while running Bitcoin Core. If something is not on that list - it do not exist :) Regards. Title: Re: Blockchain files and wallet.dat in different folders? Post by: Sydboy on July 15, 2014, 07:47:26 PM interesting i did not know -wallet was an option.
i had been using -datadir for a while now. do you have any idea which version of bitcoin-qt came out with -wallet ? thanks :) Title: Re: Blockchain files and wallet.dat in different folders? Post by: BookLover on July 15, 2014, 09:37:07 PM Looks like Bitcoin Core version 0.9.0 was the first version to have this option. https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.0 (https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.0) (search on this page for "wallet=" without the quotes to find it)
Title: Re: Blockchain files and wallet.dat in different folders? Post by: DeathAndTaxes on July 16, 2014, 04:08:49 AM By the wording of the option "wallet=" only allows you to desginate the wallet by name within the data directory. I don't believe it is possible to designate a different data and wallet location.
