Linux typically uses the FHS, which various distros often bastardize: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/lsb/fhs BSD typically uses the traditional hierarchy, for which admins often add /home and /opt: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/share/man/man7/hier.7?revision=HEAD&view=markup
You'd have to read them both and decide which camp you're in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard Since bitcoin isn't really an X app at it's core, XDG doesn't really apply. http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html Further, bitcoin doesn't allow easy separation of the files without detachdb (off by default), nor does it supply a user agnostic system daemon to do the block processing separately from user wallet ops. So I would suggest until then it remain split up somewhere under .bitcoin rather than in /var or anywhere else. And when you figure out where I should place my messages in full the first time, please let me know because I obviously need help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
