Title: bitcoin qt wallet Post by: gamaman990 on March 15, 2018, 01:04:00 PM I'm planning to run btc qt wallet and bitcoin abc's core wallet on the same PC. To avoid the 2 wallets meddling with each other, is it sufficient by defining different -datadir and -port options? Any other switches I should specify?

Bitcoin ABC installs on the same folder by default as Bitcoin Core which corrupted my installation... it was insane, I had to sync the entire thing from day one.. Ideally, you do not want to have both on the same computer. Pick up a cheap laptop to run altcoin software, that's my recommendation. Not even VM is enough isolation, always be paranoid with these altcoin scammers.

I have separate laptops for dealing with BTC and altcoin. I never run altcoin wallets on my BTC wallet PC, because I don't know which is legit. I don't want to take a risk for my assets. You have given the best solution to the guy.

I've had the same problem, if you change the datadir it should be sufficient, also you can monitor the resource usage of both. |
