How to move your wallet to other PC in order not to wait

Support

Hello guys,

I installed Chia 1.1.5 to my future farming machine. Starter the sync, waited for 2 mins, quit wallet, stopped all the chia process. After I copied all chia folders form already fully synced wallet from another machine.

Started the wallet again - no success, same progress as it was prior to coping.

Any idea what am I doing wrong or how to properly move that wallet?

Thank you.

Old thread but what the hell.

Having done this just yesterday here is how I do it.

  • Close Chia, wait for it to close correctly. Check the task manager or equivalent and make sure none of it is running inlcuding chia_blockchain, start_farmer, Start_full_node etc…
  • Install the chia blockchain on the new machine, but close it when the GUI starts up.
  • Copy the contents of the folder C:\users[your username}\chia\mainnet\ from the old machine to the new machine, into the same folder.
  • Start Chia on the new machine. You will need to enter your private key from the 24 word mnemonic. Wallet and DB sync much faster, as they are only a few minutes out of date.
