Why is my blockchain data size smaller than what BitInfoCharts tells me?
Because "fast sync" only gets block headers and block bodies. It processes no transactions until current block - 1024.Then it gets a snapshot state and goes like a full synchronization. TL;DR you will still get a copy of the whole blockchain with "fast sync". To learn more on this, I suggest googling "pruned vs. archived blockchain". Or go here. -
Where is the blockchain data stored?
By default, it is stored in./ethereum
under/root
. To access it, you will need to launch File Manager in super user mode with the commandsudo pcmanfm
.
