13:43 <guest3456> so at some point i followed a guide to move my datadir to my external drive, and then i believe i did a link to keep the chainstate dir on my internal ssd

13:44 <guest3456> actually i believe it was an option in the installer

13:44 <guest3456> but i'm now trying to upgrade to 22.0 but the installer is not giving me any choices about datadir, only the full install dir

13:44 <guest3456> will something get messed up

13:51 <hebasto> guest3456: provided data are not enough to give you a 100% working solution, but generally it is more reliable to move into an external drive a blocks dir only; it is easy to achieve by placing `blocksdir="path-to-external-drive/new-blocks-dir` into your `bitcoin.conf`

13:52 <hebasto> guest3456: anyway, https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ is a better place to ask such questions

13:54 <guest3456> thank you sir, ill keep that in mind if i decide to rearrange the install

13:55 <guest3456> anyway i just installed on top, choosing the same main dir on my ssd, and it looks like everything worked silently

17:50 <TallTim> guest3456 - FWIW I just added the -datadir <path> to the shortcut in win10 - I now sync to an external SSD

17:50 <TallTim> Any upgrade you do will require you to restore that, of course.

19:25 <prayank> I might sound negative at times while reading things however intentions were always to imrove Bitcoin.

19:25 <prayank> Today I met few unknown people before meetup. Questions were same as I have seen on Twitter, telegram, SE, reddit etc.

19:25 <prayank> But I smiled on energy question instead of reacting in a weird way. Said I will cover this in my presentation later and I can assure Bitcoin has no energy issues.

22:34 <prayank> So I was looking for trying to respond on other issues:

22:34 <prayank> Q which repository and where do you make changes that gets approved?

22:34 <prayank> A: There are multiple implementations. Used only one with 6 maintainers. But we can change it. Even if don't want to.. you can run a software to be a part of network

22:50 <sipa> prayank: please stay on topic
