Title: Use Bitcoin wallet from two clients
Post by: TAiS46 on June 14, 2012, 07:50:38 AM
Hey,

I am using Bitcoin on an Debian Server over the console.
I don't like the listing of "listtransactions" and will see it in a GUI.

Is it possible, that I use the wallet.dat from the Server on my Mac in another Client?
Or can I connect with a Client to the Server to see the transactions?

Thanks,
Simon

Look at the armory client... I think that it can do that.

FYI:  Armory doesn't do this yet.  If you have an older wallet, you can migrate it into Armory, but Armory will start generating different addresses than Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind after that point, so they won't really be the same wallet anymore.

However, the main devs have decided to implement deterministic wallets into Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind, and I've been part of the development discussion about it.  I will be implementing the same wallet format (and maintain support for the old wallet format, too), so it will be possible to share wallets between programs.  That's probably a few months away, though.
