Where To Save data.mdb

Place data.mdb inside your Bytecoin blockchain data directory while the wallet or daemon is closed.

Windows
C:/Users/YourUsername/AppData/Roaming/bytecoin/blockchain/
  1. Close Bytecoin wallet and bytecoind if running.
  2. Open Run dialog, type %APPDATA%/bytecoin/blockchain, and open the folder.
  3. Backup old data.mdb if it exists.
  4. Move the downloaded data.mdb into this folder.
  5. Start Bytecoin again and let it continue syncing from the imported height.
Linux
~/.bytecoin/
  1. Stop wallet and daemon processes.
  2. Open ~/.bytecoin in your file manager or terminal.
  3. Backup existing data.mdb if present.
  4. Copy new data.mdb into ~/.bytecoin.
  5. Restart Bytecoin and verify sync continues from a higher block.
macOS
~/Library/Application Support/bytecoin/blockchain/
  1. Close Bytecoin app and daemon.
  2. In Finder, use Go to Folder and open ~/Library/Application Support/bytecoin/blockchain.
  3. Backup existing data.mdb if present.
  4. Paste downloaded data.mdb into this folder.
  5. Open Bytecoin and allow final sync completion.
Post-Install Checks
  1. Ensure file name is exactly data.mdb (lowercase extension).
  2. Make sure there is enough free storage for future blockchain growth.
  3. If Bytecoin starts from height 0, confirm file was placed in the correct directory.
  4. If you see corruption errors, delete the imported file and re-download.
Important: never replace data.mdb while Bytecoin is running. Always stop the wallet and daemon first to avoid database corruption.
