Linux wallet compiles but doesnt create data directory folder that needs the config file & contains wallet.dat?

any help would be apreciated

Look at "$HOME/.bitcoin" this happened to me, bitcoind needs this variable set.

Plus create the config file, then run bitcoind!

Thanks, ill try that..

Well, I didnt want to get bashed for trying to teach myself something out of boredom.

I decided to fork blackcoin for fun, I changed all the goodies, & now im up to generating the merkel hash.

i compiled it on ubuntu 14.04 but it doesnt create the hidden data directory folder.
I even tried creating it myself, and specifying it using the -datadir & didnt work either.

I used find and replace to change everything blackcoin, Blackcoin, BlackCoin, & BC to my shitty coin name, which is shitcoin lol.

.blackcoin nor .shitcoin gets created after i compile my source.

I downloaded & compiled blackcoin & it does indeed create the .blackcoin folder so im thinking it has to do something with my renaming process?

any ideas?

Are you sure you have Show Hidden Files active?

yes sir.

When i
it doesn't come up.

Even If I
it doesnt come up either.

I git cloned & compiled the original Blackcoin source & when i
to the location the .blackcoin folder its there.

when i
in the directory its there.

Even if i
it will show up.

Im doing everything the same exact way..

I think that folder's normally created when you first run the wallet. Have you tried that (or did I miss it?)

No i haven't, i dont have a merkel hash for the genesis block so im trying to run it on the testnet so it can give it to me in my debug log. the problem is that debug log is in the .shitcoin folder that doesnt get created /:

Run it on terminal with -printtoconsole flag.

I will give that a try & update, thanks you sir!

It didnt work /:
