This isn't just for BTC, but any coin in general...
After a break of just hodling bitcoin, I want to diversify my investments a bit, but don't wanna bog my ssd bootdrive down with blockchain files. Is there a way to move the blockchain file onto a different drive? I have a 1tb WDD black I could use, that's in my system, but IDK how to move it... Any help is appreciated!

Yes, you can set up a data directory for bitcoin with the -datadir= command line option. See details here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_BitcoinAs for any other altcoins, you'd have to check on each of them individually. Some may implement similar options. Some may not. That's a question you'll have to ask in the alt-coin forum specifically for each one you are interested in. |

Ahh okay thanks. for BTC and LTC, I use electrum as I don't want to bog myself down with the block chain. Guess I'll have to look in individually for each altcoin. |

You don't need to move the blockchain if you are using Electrum. Electrum doesn't store the blockchain. |

So then this is just a question about altcoins? Wrong sub-forum then. Essentially I guess, but it applies to Bitcoin. I used a lite wallet to just bandaid fix it essentially. |
