Figuring out how to store all the blockchain and database files on your large hard drive and not your C: drive is too complicated with Armory

Armory NEEDS a friendly wizard to assist people in moving the gigantic blockchain to their large hard drive.


Just create a shortcut to the Armory executable and use the following parameters:

--datadir=:\ --satoshi-datadir=:\

Precisely, that is well documented on Armory's website and there's even a video on it

Even though I regard myself as a power user, and have done this myself, I must say:  It is needlessly complicated.  This setting should be available in the settings panel, where people expect it to be.  Since it is not there, many will think it is not possible.

Of course it becomes more complicated due to the fact that it is another program's data we want to move around.  This may be one of the reasons that it is not on the settings panel Smiley
