Title: how do I make a 2nd CHN wallet? [solved] Post by: tobobit on May 05, 2013, 07:20:44 AM How do I make a 2nd CHN wallet, one with zero funds in it? I tried renaming the chnCoin folder in roaming apps, but that didn't do it.
I even downloaded and ran a fresh chnCoin QT client. I run them in sandbox, is that why it's not giving a fresh wallet with zero funds in it? thanks. T Title: Re: how do I make a 2nd CHN wallet? Post by: sterob on May 05, 2013, 07:41:20 AM open chn coin.exe > Receive Coin > New Address

I appreciate you taking the time to post in here. Perhaps I should have been more specific: I am looking for how to make a 2nd wallet for pure cold storage in my safe, and use my current wallet as a transfer/intermediary wallet.

When i renamed the old folder, a new one wasn't made. I suspect it's because I'm using a sandbox to run the wallet in, that the roaming folder is persistant in the sandbox somehow. edit. it was the sandbox cache. thanks all.

What sandbox do you use? think I should probably use one myself Title: Re: how do I make a 2nd CHN wallet?

You can keep your cold storage wallet.dat on a USB drive and only plug it in when you need access. This way you never copy your high funds wallet to your hard drive.
