hi, its an old cookie but how can you have multiple wallets on one machine?

step by step guide would be nice.

thanks

You can have multiple wallets in two data directories. So:

- copy your existing data directory to a new one. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

- delete the wallet.dat file in it

- run bitcoinqt/d with the datadir option pointing to the new directory and a different port:

bitcoin-qt -datadir= -port=8334

- It will create a new wallet for which you should set a password.

- create a shortcut for the above command.

b warned backup your wallet first as accidents do happen

ok .thats kindof what I was thinking along the directory lines. Yep ive been meaning to do this for a while and setup electrum, just lack of time, looks bad with me attaining senior member rank aswell.like the site abdusamad. Jazakallahukhair.

thanks zac I backup to 3 different places regularly.
