> ALSO, if i have the entire blockchain on the ssd, i can just plug it in and the syncing process will be very fast cause it already has the entire blockchain locally if i use it for another newly made wallet in future ? Thanks in advance.

Yes

> Guys i need your help once more, i have downloaded most of the blockchain i have only like 430000 daemon blocks left to sync but it has made little to no progress in the last 5 hours and i think its gonna take more than 2 weeks to complete the entire process with this speed (i use debian and i have a slow pc with hdd so its obvious). i have an ssd laying around that i can certainly use. how do i transfer the already downloaded data

over to the ssd and continue the download from there cause i think its only gonna take few hours then right ? Thanks in advance.

Instructions were given previously

in `/home/YourUsername/` is a folder called `.bitmonero`. You copy and paste this... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…3373ae12ac8e6952db95ab7c0f0691da7c9>)

Edit: 4. in GUI, enter --data-dir=/wheverever/you/pasted/.bitmonero into the stsrtup flags field of the node tab

there's a blockchain location field in the GUI, you don't have to enter it manually with `--data-dir`

And make sure the daemon is not running when you move the chain around.

* hey i am sorry but there is no folder called .bitmonero, there are only two folders there one is monero and the other is monero-storage, none of which have the blockchain or anything named like .bitmonero. Thanks in advance.

Did you use --data-dir already ? If so, it's named whatever you used there. If not, maybe it's named differently on Windows. Find a file called data.mdb.

(IIRC you said Windows. Sorry if I misremember)

Default folder on Windows is C:\ProgramData\bitmonero\lmdb

moneromooo: I use debian btw so is the location for windows or Linux ? Thanks in advance.

Ah. Then ~/.bitmonero or whatever you used for --data-dir, look again.

In case you do not know, files with leading . are hidden by default. Use -a in ls.

moneromooo: THANKYOU BRO I FOUND IT FINALLY WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THIS EARLIER
