Where is the Monero blockchain stored on Linux build?

Question

I'm a Linux newbie and I don't know where monerod is storing the blockchain.

Answer 1

The blockchain is stored in $HOME/.bitmonero

For testnet, it'll be in $HOME/.bitmonero/testnet

You can select a different directory with the --data-dir option if needed, eg:

./monerod --data-dir /var/tmp/monero
