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.

It would be even easier if you used a client other than bitcoin-qt. Electrum, multibit, armory all support multiple wallets.

yea but now you have two huge data directories with the whole blockchain on them

Why just do not install another wallet different fromthe one you have?
