Working Directories

Mineralscoin v1.1.1.0 uses a new directory to store its wallet and blockchain data.
It is highly recommended that you rename your directory from Minerals to Mineralscoin as shown in the table below.

Attention: If you don't rename, the wallet will crash on first run. Your previous Minerals v1.1.0.0 wallet and blockchain will be unaffected. However, the required Mineralscoin directory and a new wallet.dat will be created. On second launch, it uses this newly created files and will start downloading the whole blockchain again from scratch.

OS	v1.1.0.0	v1.1.1.0
Windows XP	%userprofile%\Application Data\Minerals	%userprofile%\Application Data\Mineralscoin
Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10	%userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Minerals	%userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Mineralscoin
Linux	~/.Minerals	~/.Mineralscoin
OS X	~/Library/Application Support/Minerals	~/Library/Application Support/Mineralscoin

Please note that the name of this directory is case-sensitive!

Configuration File

Mineralscoin v1.1.1.0 also introduces a new configuration file Mineralscoin.conf. Please rename your old Minerals.conf to Mineralscoin.conf if you wish to keep your existing configuration settings.

v1.1.0.0	v1.1.1.0
Minerals.conf	Mineralscoin.conf

Please note that the name of this file is case-sensitive!

*pout* I don't want to change all this stuff!

Although we strongly advise against using the old Minerals directory and files, it is possible to keep using the old files and directories.
You can force the new wallet to use the old directory by adding the datadir= and conf= directives to your configuration file or by launching it from the command line, for example by issuing the command


on a Windows 8 machine.
