Greetings folks.
1  Is there a "How to" on adding nodes to the wallet running linux?
2 Where does the downloaded blockchain file reside in linux?
Cheers.

Hi,

Normal the data working directory is inside the home directory of the user you have started the wallet. So in standard it should be ~/.navcoin2/ . 

Inside that directory you have to put the navcoin.conf file. Inside that file you can add lines like

addnode=

You can find addnodes at our blockexplorer under chainz.cryptoid.info/nav/ inside the network section there is a button called nodelist.  copy paste that into the navcoin.conf.  I Don have all the other content right now. You also should specify username amd so on.

Inside that directory you also unzip the blockchain data!

I hope that helped you!

Thanks Shahim.
Blockchain is now 3 weeks behind  with multiple active connections to navcoin network.
There was no existing file called navcoin.conf in ~/.navcoin2, so I have created one. Is this correct?
I also need you to clarify "username and so as" because my newly created navcoin.conf only contains the nodelist.
Cheers
