Hello,
I installed bitcoin-0.15.1-win64.zip, I've run Bitcoin-qt.exe, configured an alternative data directory using the initial Wizard. And now I'd like to know where this data directory path is stored, anyone know this? (I was expecting to see some config file inside "bitcoin-0.15.1" folder that points to the custom data directory location or something like that).
Full steps I did (optional to read):
1) I've got a new external SSD (that is connected with a carry disk and USB 3.1). (I plan to connect it every month or 2 months to prevent SSD cold data lose).
2) I extracted "bitcoin-0.15.1-win64.zip" to that drive. (H:\mainwallet\bitcoin-0.15.1)
3) I copied my "Bitcoin" data directory (including the wallet) from my previous drive to this new external drive. (H:\mainwallet\maindirectory\bitcoin)
4) I run BitCoin Core .exe (not a shortcut) from the new drive the wizard started --> I selected to use an existing data directory in the Wizard (H:\mainwallet\maindirectory\bitcoin).
Note: This is the first time the data directory will be executed by 0.15.1 (before it was being used by 0.14.1). (Before I was using a symlink to the .wallet, this is not supported anymore in 0.15.1 so I decided to have all the bitcoin core on an external disk like the old times).
5) After some time, Bitcoin Core starts and the data directory seems to be adopted nicely.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the naive question!
