Marscoin Data Directory

The Marscoin data directory contains the files necessary for the Marscoin client to run. Each operating system has its own standards for where such directories should be stored, as seen in the table below. For the user, the most important files in the data directory are the wallet.dat and marscoin.conf files. The blockchain is also stored in the data directory.
