Spacemesh data folders structure

Note: this is outdated and needs to be properly documented...

• spacemesh-data/

  • nondes/
    • [node-Id1]
      • id.json
      • logs/
      • ...
    • [node-Id2]
      • id.json
      • logs/
      • ...
    • ....
  • accounts/
    • [user1-id-base58].json
    • // key files go here and shared between all nodes
  • logs/
    • Any non-node specific log files go here

• spacemesh-data is the master directory were all data is persisted.

• It has a default location per OS and can be configured in the config file.

• At the top level, it contains a accounts/ dir which includes all accounts data files.

• A dir is created for each node instance and is named by its id.

• All node persistent data goes in the node's dir

• All ids are base58 encoded strings of binary node and account ids (public keys)

• We do not use ids which are hashes of public keys. Spacemesh ids are public keys.
