Topic: Blockchain files and wallet.dat in different folders? (Read 844 times)
So what is wrong with symbolic links? They should work just fine.
Indeed, "-wallet" is not a solution!
By the wording of the option "wallet=" only allows you to desginate the wallet by name within the data directory. I don't believe it is possible to designate a different data and wallet location.

Looks like Bitcoin Core version 0.9.0 was the first version to have this option. https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.0 (search on this page for "wallet=" without the quotes to find it)
interesting i did not know -wallet was an option.
i had been using -datadir for a while now. do you have any idea which version of bitcoin-qt came out with -wallet ?
thanks

I would like to place the blockchain files in a different location than wallet.dat. Is this possible with Bitcoin Core?

There is a list with all of the command-line options that you can use while running Bitcoin Core.
If something is not on that list - it do not exist

I realize this doesn't put the wallet.dat file in a different location but maybe it will solve your problem:
You may get more help if you post exactly what your trying to do.
Code:
#Specify wallet file (within data directory)
