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=<dir> -port=8334 https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin - 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. |
