Title: Windows 8 - Can't find Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin for bootstrap.dat Post by: Noodle43 on November 25, 2014, 09:42:38 PM Hi,
I have downloaded bootstrap.dat and just looking for some help regarding this damn folder: Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin. I just can't find it. Bitcoin core 64bit is just taking ages to sync. Any advise?

I just can't find it. Bitcoin core 64bit is just taking ages to sync. Any advise? Not Appdata. %AppData% The % symbols are necessary. The location of %AppData% depends on the version of Windows you are using. The bitcoin data directories can typically be found here: XP C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Bitcoin (XP) Vista & 7 C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin Note that the %AppData% folder is typically hidden by default. You might have a difficult time browsing to the folder with explorer. However, if you go to: Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) Then you can enter: %APPDATA%\Bitcoin and Bitcoins data folder should open. |
