Altcoins wallet.dat file

[IceJelly]

Hi guys. Still rather new to Cryptocurrencies.

I recently downloaded a few different alt coins, and I was wondering where the wallet data (wallet.dat) for these coins are stored.

I want to keep all my data on an external hard drive, so I want to know if these coins installed the data files to another directory.


I am on Windows 7.


Thanks for the help guys.

It should be similar to bitcoin no? w. the wallet dat file etc.

If they are copying most of the Bitcoin source then they should be found in the AppData/Roaming/'AltcoinName' depending on what the name of the altcoin is. Without changing the source I don't think you can actually change where you wallet.dat is loaded from. You'd have to swap them out accordingly if you wanted to open a different wallet.
