Cannot Reference Custom Blockchain Data Location (datadir) #5

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

There is no option to access android internal storage to back up my synced data in the event of an 'boating' accident. When I set datadir=/storage/emulated/0/bitcoin and start daemon in stops almost immediately. Please enable access to external storage.

The reason for that is because the reference for only the Blockchain data as far as tx's has not been created yet. But hopefully will be coming soon. Also one of the biggest problems when it comes to making it android accessible is the memory and storage space needed. In the current structure it is basically a second way to access your already downloaded Bitcoin core using the rpcport function to connect with your core on the computer and calling simple functions. But even then unless you have the correct local server connection with ssl connection for server verification it is a little bit of a hassle.
