Topic: File .bat with Linux? (Read 747 times)
Thanks
No I don't need internet connection, I just want to generate the private keys in an offline linux live-cd.
Where does linux bitcoin-qt store the blockchain?
In the same directory of the qt or in another directory like in windows?

Normally it's in your home directory in .bitcoin
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -f ./DATA ]; then
mkdir ./DATA
fi
/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt -min -datadir=./DATA
if [ ! -f ./DATA ]; then
mkdir ./DATA
fi
/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt -min -datadir=./DATA
save it as run_bitcoin
then type:
sh run_bitcoin
or:
chmod u+x run_bitcoin
./run_bitcoin
type which bitcoin-qt to make sure it's in /usr/local/bin

If you're using bitcoin core (bitcoin-qt) then I think I'm right in saying that you need an Internet connection to refresh/verify the blockchain. So this is not proper cold storage.
Try electrum instead.

To start the bitcoin-qt and store the blockchain in the same directory I use this .bat file in windows:
How can I create a similar file in Linux?
I'm a totally beginner with it but I need Ubuntu for cold storage.
Code:
IF NOT EXIST .\DATA mkdir DATA
start bitcoin-qt.exe -min -datadir=.\DATA
exit
start bitcoin-qt.exe -min -datadir=.\DATA
exit
