Title: Single bitcoind instance and multiple wallets, is it possible ? Post by: Farghaly on April 04, 2014, 05:36:07 PM Is it possible to interact with multiple wallets using a single bitcoind instance ?
i know that the wallet on which bitcoind operate can be changed using -datadir option, but this is per bitcoind instance. is it possible to make somethig like this ? assuming there are multiple wallets Code: getnewaddress <account:Foo> <wallet:wallet1.dat> Title: Re: Single bitcoind instance and multiple wallets, is it possible ? Post by: behindtext on April 06, 2014, 01:14:49 PM not sure it works for your application, but you should have a look at btcd and btcwallet: they were built to accommodate just this scenario.
https://github.com/conformal/btcd (https://github.com/conformal/btcd) https://github.com/conformal/btcwallet (https://github.com/conformal/btcwallet) iirc bitcoind's account feature is deprecated and does not work how one would hope or expect.

Quote Multiple wallets, used serially, works fine today. I manage multiple wallets using symlink replacement. Title: Re: Single bitcoind instance and multiple wallets, is it possible ? Post by: gwlloyd on April 06, 2014, 05:42:41 PM I just use the account functionality to separate, but symlinks would work too (as mentioned above) and are also easy to set-up. Or perhaps look into using something like sx tools to perform the transactions through bitcoind rather than bitcoind itself.

There are a few reasons not use accounts, but mainly this one: Quote The accounts code does not scale up to thousands of accounts with tens of thousands of transactions, because by-account (and by-account-by-time) indices are not implemented. So many operations (like computing an account balance) require accessing every wallet transaction. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Accounts_explained#Account_Weaknesses Personally I don't think libbitcoin/obelisk/sx is production ready, but I respect the work genjix is doing. |
