I found the solution, here it is:

I had to create a shortcut, and add in the "Target" field the following: -datadir=C:\Bitcoin, for the "Bitcoin" and -datadir=C:\Bitcoin 2 for the "Bitcoin 2" installation.

I had in fact read about this command, but at first I tried in the debug console, which did not work. I tried the above solution and it worked.

Running two instances of Bitcoin Core on the same computer
by
Redrose
on 17/08/2019, 14:41:27 UTC
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!

Re: Average load of an altcoin wallet

Lite wallets aren't really consuming much space of your computer. But those wallets that downloads the whole blockchain network of that altcoin requires much space.
Did I answered your question somehow?

Not really! Cheesy

But this is partially my fault, I was not precise enough. I am talking about the regular Qt wallets.

I would like precise figures because I have spare computers and I would like to dedicate one to host wallets.
However one is way more powerful than the other.
Hence I would prefer to use the weaker one - but still equipped with an i5 CPU and 8 GB of RAM - to keep the other one for an other purpose.
But to know for which one I should go for, I need to know if the 30+ wallets that will be running on it will not weigh too much for the weaker computer.

Hello everyone,

What is the average load of an altcoin wallet, in term of computing power and memory?

Thank you!

I guess it depends on the technology of a specific altcoin. Not all altcoins have their own wallet some are just relying to ETH Technology so I believe it must be huge and can handle more transactions at a very fast way. The best example here is the MEW wallet, its good and can handle many ERC20 tokens.

Well, I do not consider ERC20 tokens as altcoins for the simple reason that they are tokens and not coins! Cheesy

But anyway, I was referring to desktop wallets.

Re: Downloading a wallet on an external disc drive?
by

on 16/08/2019, 09:25:49 UTC
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if it would be advisable - because I know it can be achieved without much trouble - do host the wallet files on an external disc drive.

Will it stress particularly the disc drive in question?

Will there be any latency due to this?

Thank you for considering my questions! Smiley

No problem at all,its fine if you install wallets on second or third harddisk drive on your pc ive did this in the past and no issues at all as far as your pc is able to detect the external hard disk you will be fine,just make sure you dont leave your private keys on your hard disk because  you will lose your coins if your hard disk died one day

Great thank you!

And what about downloading it on my laptop for now and then moving it to the external disc drive?

You don't want to do that because the files might easily get crashed or something,i'd reconsider my decision if i were you,just install the whole wallet and blockchain data in the external hard disk from the start instead of moving it,it will be painful if the data got corrupted after wasting your mobile data and energy synching the whole blockchain data

You are probably right.

I have seen some times blockchain data file available for downloading, so that might be a solution?

Because the case is that I just ordered the external disc drive, and I am a bit impatient you see! Cheesy

What do you think about downloading the blockchain database and just make a new install on the external disc drive and add the already-downloaded database to the new installation folder?



it's also not a problem, but as we knew external disc with laptop maybe would be a problem someday. As long as you can minimize the problem it will be fine, and make sure you use ssd external disc just to make more faster

Yes, to make it really safe I will of course keep my private keys elsewhere.



And what about downloading it on my laptop for now and then moving it to the external disc drive?
You have to be sensitive if you are keeping the wallet files. I advise you to save also a copy of your wallet.dat or if its possible for you to keep a copy of your private key written stored on a piece of paper.

Yes, of course.
Keeping the wallet.dat did not came immediately to my mind, but for sure I will do it too!

Re: Will Bitcoins hit 30K before the end of this year?

I do think so. It would only be a threefold increase in value, and after a year like the one we just had, it now seems incredibly feasible, at any moment. I do believe that we will see this kind of price before the end of the year, I am sure of it.

For me it is a total blackout. Except myself and a few people I met here on Bitcointalk, I never saw anyone even knowing properly what is Bitcoin before I told them. So the impact over our economy is absolutely inexistant, and here lies the potential : catching daily trade.

Re: Do you think bitcoin redistributes wealth or just makes the wealthy richer?
by
Redrose
on 15/02/2018, 22:21:48 UTC
There is no reason that it would redistribute wealth, really. Even if price increases, it increases the same for everyone, so it changes nothing. Rich people may however be more prone to invest, but I am not sure rich kids are really more in the game than College professors.

Re: Is Bitcoin really secure?
by
Redrose
on 15/02/2018, 22:17:58 UTC
Are bitcoins really safe? I think it's not safe, since you do not have any proof of your ownership of the bitcoin. When you lose you can not go tell the authorities to report that you lost some bitcoin. However, I still invest in this market because the profitability of this market is too great.

Forget about the authorities. A friend of mine got stolen for the 15th time - no joke ! - and since in the 14 previous times police did nothing, he did not even bothered to report it, since all they do with it is statistics, even probably biased. This is to say that in life, if you lose something, Bitcoin or not, you can only count on yourself. But Bitcoin is safe enough so it should never happen if you are cautious enough.

Re: If people stop buying bitcoin

Well if there is no one to buy, it means there is no one to buy what people are selling, so price will simply be stagnant, nothing more. But it is useless to damage your brain with 'if' when such a possicility is sure to never happen.

Re: Why Media is negative about Bitcoin?
by

on 13/02/2018, 11:16:24 UTC
This is because medias are owned by people from the old system, such as stock investors, bankers, etc. Bitcoin is indeed a threat to their financial supremacy, so they do all they can to shot it down, not very successfully for now Grin !

Well said

We have here an anti-Bitcoin from what I see ; in the last three thread I went you were too and criticising Bitcoin. It is false, there are many people much more wealthy than you two - or maybe just you because you are probably the two same people - that are hodling Bitcoin. Prove me that I am wrong and I will accept to change my mind. I am waiting your proof !

Well I was excepting the traditionnal rumours on China and Russia but instead found something else, rather... funny. This is not to be offensive, but those five countries are everything but of a big weight in world economy, so this is not big news.
