how to change the blockchain directory ? as my c drive is full
no body has an idea ?
At the moment, because our GMC and desktop client is limited in its functionality, there is no easy way to change your C:\drive directory without going through series of technical steps.
Since the GMC client's data path is wrapped to a fixed location, you have to change its path every time you run GMC and the wallet. If you are still up for this task, make sure you download the GMC client from https://github.com/Musicoin/go-musicoin/releases to your linux system. Copy your blockchain data from the chaindata folder located in c:\user...\appdata\roaming\musicoin to another location. On your GMC, type `gmc --datapath ` with your new path being your new location. The minimum recommended size for downloading our blockchain data is at 20-22 GB.
Keep in mind that we are currently welcome our community to work with us in building a better desktop wallet, a sizable bounty will be issued for this task. More info can be found at https://github.com/Musicoin/desktop/issues/55.
Alternatively, you can use the parity wallet (v1.8.0 and greater) or MyEtherWallet to store musicoins that way. We are not affected from the recent parity hack.
You can download the parity wallet at https://github.com/paritytech/parity/releases, and there is a guide on setting up MEW for musicoins at https://trustcoinmining.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=blockchain&wr_id=9.
I hope this helps.
hi thanks but i did not find where to type gmc --datapath E:\Musicoin\Wallet (i tried with a shortcut but not working)
i already moved the blockchain data couple days ago, when i open gmc it start downloading blockchain again, i cannot type in the window
hey brother, im not a Windows guy but maybe you can try this:
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/
Essentially you have to make your default folder a "symbolic link" and point it to your desired folder. It works in linux so it should probably work with windows too.
oh thanks , sad i did not know this before, gonna use it more often, very helpful
