Topic: installing armory/bitcore to a directory other than C: too big for my SSD- how? (Read 761 times)

That's 125 Megabytes. With a big M. MB.

Do you mean 125gb for .94 plus 75gb for core? total 200gb? I've just now uninstalled and now reinstalling both .94 and core to my E:hdd....

presumably I can recreate the wallet originally made in 93.x with 94.1 (I have all the keys, seed, password & address), right?
Yes. You need ~125MB for the 0.94 database, but that's it. Total of ~75GB needed.

There is not a lot of space on my c:/ ssd; I think I can put the block chain from core on another drive. This armory install was a new one done yesterday, but I just checked it and it is 93.x; just curious why 94.1 is not on the armory download page? Also I'm just going to uninstall first, presumably I can recreate the wallet originally made in 93.x with 94.1 (I have all the keys, seed, password & address), right?

Using goatpig's newest version of Armory (0.94.1) will reduce Armory's database to a negligible size but you are still going to need the block chain which Core will download. This will easily fit on a 128 GB SSD (unless your drive is fill with tons of other stuff, of course).

Being a bitcoin newb had a major clusterf$#k installing armory on my 128gb ssd c drive. As it stands I'm in the second iteration of overfilling the drive, (I managed to point bitcore to E: after the first disaster but then armory started with this huge database file and I'm again overfilled on this second attempt). I've got a wallet address in there with a balance (tried to send bitcoin to it before bitcore was set up, but thats another sad story) I read somewhere these are instructions on how to do this alternate drive install but was unable to find them. I need the ELI5 version, if there is one, plus presumably I need to uninstall both bitcore and armory and then restore when the program is installed on the other drive, no? I have all the private keys, address, password, paper backup and seeds from the initial install. Is there a fix?
