RUNNING SYSCOIN 4 QT FROM A USB ON WINDOWS

The following procedure will allow you to run Syscoin Qt from a USB stick so that you never have to have your data exposed to the Internet unless you wish to. This also allows you to access your wallet on any machine with a USB drive (Might need to change the drive letter).

1. Plug in your USB and create a folder Syscoin4 ( In my case that is F:\Syscoin4).
2. Download and unzip the latest ‘ win64.zip’ from https://github.com/syscoin/syscoin/releases.
3. Go to the extracted folder and navigate to the ‘bin’ folder.
4. Copy the files to your Syscoin4 folder on your USB.
5. In the Syscoin4 folder right click on ‘syscoin-qt.exe’ and select create a shortcut.
6. Find this shortcut and right click on it and select properties.

7. In the Target field add -datadir=F:\Syscoin4 at the end, making sure there is a space after exe.

8. Click OK and you can now run Syscoin4 from this shortcut on your USB.

9. If you wish you can copy your existing wallet.dat to this USB once it has synced.

10. Now copy these files to other USBs as a backup.

11. Encrypt these USB sticks.

So now the only time your Syscoin data is exposed to the internet is when you wish to use it and if your machine crashes you can still access your funds.
