Is it possible to use Bitsquare from USB stick (Windows)?  
Is there an option to change the default location of the data directory?

Yes it should (with prgoram argument app.data.dir=YOUR\_PATH) but it was implemented more then a year ago and since that time never used and tested. So no guarantee that it works (will try to check it but have too many other thing on my table…).

Thanks for info, tried to solve it, but didn’t work.

app.data.dir=YOUR\_PATH, argument for what, Bitsquare-0.x.y.z.jar or Bitsquare.exe?

Should I add it to bitsquare.cfg ?
