That worked, thank you. Next stumbling block: It seems the data directories for the blocks and wallet have changed? The client starts with 270 weeks back. Where can I set the datadir?

I didn't have to set my directory but this may help as a terminal command option -datadir= Specify data directory

Edit: I don't know if this has anything to do with it but you may have to install Berkley DB 4.8 but others here will know better than me about that. Don't do it based on my advice. I did to avoid the error I was getting when compiling my own.

Code:

./bitcoin-qt -datadir=/home/xyz/.bitcoin &

Worked like a charm for me.

As an added bonus there are now several more bitcoins in my wallet. Not sure what happened there, but judging from the time it took to start bitcoin core it must have done a re-scan and found same additional tx. (?)

Sorry does this mean that bitcoin-qt 0.9.0 doesn't automatically access the .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file from the users home folder like 0.8.6 does?

Thanks,
