on a different note:

Does anyone know how to permanently change the data directory for a wallet? I have launched via cmd prompt with the "-datadir=H:\foldername\silk" option and all is well with new directory but after i restart the wallet the default "roaming/silk" directory is used.

My default C drive is getting full due to 50+ wallet blockchains constantly updating and I would like to move data directory to another disk.

thanks,
john

Only if you are a Windows OS user
I do it by moving the location of the whole Roaming directory to another drive
Since I start mining that folder became ridiculously big(>60Gb) and couldn't afford to keep it on the C drive anymore
Just change the Location in the Roaming folder properties

PS: if you want to upgrade your OS (from 7 to 8 or from 8 to 10) change the location back before or your system will crash

You should also ask the elf to put the link in the first post
It would help the newcommers to get there faster

You're a life saver

I was about to offer 25k SILK for whoever helps me on this one
Now I'm sure that you fully deserve it
Thanks again for your time and support

This will take you to block 1,014,647 - https://github.com/SCDeveloper/Silkcoin-Blockchain-Bootstrap

Or you can wait till I create a new blockchain.dat

Thanks mate, but I'm on 1194525 block
Please don't bother anymore with this, I'm sure CryptoJohn is right: the issue must be on my side since other wallets sync OK
I've plenty of time this week to try all kinds of things
Thanks again for your help

You can add the same flag to the shortcut for Qt and it will launch with the desired data directory each time. But you have to use that shortcut all the time then.

I would suggest backing up your wallet then wiping roaming/silkcoin folder and start from scratch w/o a conf file.

Sorry guys if I was disrespectful
I was hoping someone else had the same problem and could give me a solution, this used to be a friendly and helpful community for me
I wasn't asking help from SLievensDRKSLK, but I have to say that he was very kind, him alone would make me go for Darksilk
I'll guess the last resort is to reinstall OS and everything else and start from scratch
Sorry again

I'm still waiting for someone to upload the synced blockchain
Please it only takes few minutes and saves us all of days of syncing

If someone wants to start on Silkcoin he would definitely quit this coin if the wallet syncs at this rate, not good for business Angry

Your first two sentences were legitimate and respectful. Your last spoke of a true noob. Business is just fine considering the infancy of alts.

I see you have been interested in silk for quite awhile but cmon. Maybe review a few pages or even a couple posts before yours and realize the dev is extremely busy testing a new release.

The wallet syncs just fine and you don't even need a conf file. Open the wallet and walk away or continue working or gaming or surfing...whatever it is you do that makes waiting for the silk wallet to sync such a horror.

Sorry for being blunt but take a breath before typing disrespectful comments towards a dev who is not on your payroll but still works to improve your future.

Ill get a new .dat sorted of the blockchain.

I'll create one using the block explorer.

Leave it to me....

Just purchased 515,410 Silkcoin. I also have 230,000 in buy orders. Thinking of breaking a million Grin

Should I do it?

Why are you asking?

It was a rhetorical question.

I will get some more if someone decides to sell 500k on the exchanges.

Keep up the great work guys I'm looking forward to Drkslk Cool
