Post by: kickky on November 30, 2014, 08:40:54 pm

Just bought a 32G harddrive capacity 11 inch laptop. so not enough space to keep bts in C directory.

I believe you can change this by using a shortcut to launch BitShares with the target set to "[bitsharesExecutable] --data-dir [pathOnYourExternalDrive]".

So probably something like: "C:\Program Files\BitShares\BitShares.exe --data-dir D:\BitShares"
