Instructions for changing the directory of the blockchain data for the defichain wallet

Procedure using Windows 10 as an example

  1. open directory C:\Users\<username>\.defi
  2. open file defi.conf in text editor
  3. add line: datadir=<storage directory blockchain data> (example: datadir=D:\defichain) (Important: The line has to be added before the Main Chapter)
  4. Example:
rpcauth=something

rpcuser=something

rpcpassword=something

rpcbind=127.0.0.1

rpcport=8555

datadir=D:\defichain

[main]

wallet=Wallet.dat

  1. Save file and start wallet
  2. The app now recreates the blockchain folders in the datadir and will start with a complete download of the whole blockchain. (16.3.2021 ca. 25GB)

The app 2.3.1 does not work correctly with a moved directory.
