My main problem is the my client crashes about  two minutes after starting to update, so I cannot access the debug window to extract my PKs. This is error log from my last session.  Any help would be appreciated.

Bitcoin Core Wallet to Hardware Wallet
by

on 16/01/2018, 10:27:18 UTC
Hi there,

Is it possible to move my wallet.dat directly to a hardware wallet such as Tresor?  I am using Bitcoin Core and want to move my wallet off my PC to more secure storage.

Also, it is possible to access my wallet in Bitcoin Core without downloading the whole blockchain. My client crashed recently with a message that said "Error: a fatal internal error occurred, see debug for details" .

Thanks.

Hy Guys

I am looking for some advice on what are good trading sites for buying and selling cryptos including BTC.  Specifically I'd like to use some of my BTC to buy other cryptos.

Copying Leger to another PC
by

Good morning,

I have a few questions that I'd be grateful for help with.

1.  Is it possible to copy the current ledger from one PC to another?  My colleague is about to open a new Bitcoin Core wallet and I want to know if I can copy my ledger to his PC so he doesn't have to download the whole thing.

2.  How do I create a new wallet within the Bitcoin Core client?  I am transferring the existing wallet to my colleague but I want to open a new wallet in my client to receive Bitcoin from him.

Thanks

Re: Two Bitcoin Wallets on Same PC

The last version (0.15.0.1) support multi-wallet apparently (more will come in a future version):

Code:
Multi-wallet support
--------------------

Bitcoin Core now supports loading multiple, separate wallets (See [PR 8694](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8694), [PR 10849](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10849)). The wallets are completely separated, with individual balances, keys and received transactions.

Multi-wallet is enabled by using more than one `-wallet` argument when starting Bitcoin, either on the command line or in the Bitcoin config file.

**In Bitcoin-Qt, only the first wallet will be displayed and accessible for creating and signing transactions.** GUI selectable multiple wallets will be supported in a future version. However, even in 0.15 other loaded wallets will remain synchronized to the node's current tip in the background. This can be useful if running a pruned node, since loading a wallet where the most recent sync is beyond the pruned height results in having to download and revalidate the whole blockchain. Continuing to synchronize all wallets in the background avoids this problem.

That's assuming you are both using Bitcoin Core. If you are using different wallets then you shouldn't face any problems as each wallet software put the files in a different location in AppData.

Thanks. How do I create a new wallet for myself within Bitcoin Core to receive the bitcoins he wants to send me?

Hi Guys

A friend who's PC died asked me to load Bitcoin Core on my PC and retrieve his wallet which he had stored on a USB stick. He now wants to give me two Bitcoins.   Is it possible to run two separate wallets on the same PC in Bitcoin Core or better to keep them separate?   Can I run a separate Bitcoin client on the same PC?

Cheers.

You can keep as many wallets as you want on the same PC. However, if using core, you can only have one of them open at the same time.

You can open them from the commandline, in windows, it's "bitcoin-qt.exe -wallet=". In windows, you can just make 2 shortcuts: one to each wallet. In linux, you can create an alias for each wallet.

Cheers dude.  So I only need one Core client and just ask it to boot a different wallet each time?
