Hello everyone,
I am glad having bought some ethereum when they were not as expensive though the amount of space that the blockchain needs makes me headaches. I need to move it fast in order to prevent damage to files because of no space for writing to the harddisc.
I use win 7 pro so I use the appropriate download from github. I have read that in order to move the chainfiles I need to use --datadir. Though it is claimed that it only works when starting geth.exe upfront with the flag. The only problem is, there is no geth.exe anywhere to be found.
So how can I move the big folders?
Also someone wrote that the installer fixes this by allowing one to chose the paths. Though the installer did not ask me at all where to install.
Can someone help?
Thank you!
