Hello,
I would like to run at the same two Bitcoin Core instances.
I had in the idea to store both of them in a two separated folders located directly in the C:// directory.
This for both ease of clarity and portability.
I say portability because I would like to host both the executable file in this folder and the blockchain data, as well as the wallet and the configuration files.
I first created two folders in in the C:// directory : "Bitcoin" and "Bitcoin 2".
I launched BitcoinCore.exe and it asked me where I want to install Bitcoin. I chose the "Bitcoin" folder.
I launched and quitted immediately.
I moved Bitcoin to somewhere else so that when I launch a second time BitcoinCore.exe it asks me a second time where I want to install it.
This time I chose "Bitcoin 2" and quitted again.
I moved back "Bitcoin" to the C:// directory.
I now have "Bitcoin" and "Bitcoin 2" both with a .exe, a wallet.dat in it, and the very very beginning of the chain downloaded too.
Problem is that when I started bitcoin-qt.exe from "Bitcoin", it loaded the "Bitcoin 2" files.
I know this because I looked to the "Information" tab.
What to do to be able to have two Bitcoin Core instances running at the same time, each having its own folder with anything needed in it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
