How to set up nodepath in defi.conf

[izzycsy]

From v2.7.0 onwards, users can now save a DeFi node anywhere on their machine by simply specifying the file path in defi.conf. In the event that there's no nodepath detected by the app, it'll automatically fallback to the default node path. Hence, for casual users you may still use the app as per usual without having to configure your defi.conf.

This applies to:
• Masternode owners
• Super users

How to configure nodepath in defi.conf

1. Ensure app is close & wallet.dat is safe
2. Download the latest version of the app from DeFiCh/app or DeFiChain.com
3. Replace current app with recent download
4. Do not launch the app yet
5. Download latest node version from DeFiCh/ain
6. Store download anywhere in your PC, do take note of the file path

For the purpose of this guide, we'll be using node v2.1.0

Let's say user saves node v2.1.0 in his Documents folder on Mac.

7. ^ Open defi.conf in your code editor, and according to where you store /…/defichain-v2.1.0/bin/defid, input the file path right above the line [main] > save changes

defi.conf location:
Mac — Go to Folder: 
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Defi/.defi/defi.conf
Windows: 
C:\Users\<username>\.defi\defi.conf

8. Launch DeFi App
9. ^ An error message might occur stating that “defid” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified > proceed to Quit DeFi App

10. ^ Go to System Preferences (similar to when you first downloaded the DeFi app), and click Allow Anyway

11. ^ Relaunch DeFi App > Open

Incorrect file path on defi.conf

^ If your nodepath route is incorrect, you’ll likely be stuck at the launch screen. Double check your file path.
