Title: Any way to have two bitcoin wallets on one machine? Post by: Internet151 on April 23, 2011, 06:31:40 AM Basically, I would like to have two separate bitcoin wallets on the same PC to keep two different sources of income and spending separated. Is there any easy way of doing this?

Is there any easy way of doing this? Yes. Find where the wallet is stored on your OS. Rename it to something else (anything unique really). When you run Bitcoin again you'll use a new wallet. If you want to use the other wallet again: rename the newer one to another name and change the original wallet back. That's what I do...Title: Re: Any way to have two bitcoin wallets on one machine?

That will let you run two instances concurrently, each using its own wallet.

Is there any easy way of doing this? If you use Linux, you can also separate wallets using different user accounts. I use my usual user account for my main day-to-day wallet, and a separate user account for my "savings". Hopefully this way any data stealing trojans will only be able to get the small balance stored in my day-to-day wallet.Title: Re: Any way to have two bitcoin wallets on one machine?

Post by: FarmerBlue on February 27, 2013, 02:04:54 AM I have 3 wallets on 1 machine, 1 wallet is bitcoin_qt client, 1 wallet on Armory client, and 1 wallet on multibit wallet.
very simple just install all 3 clients and make a wallet for each. Title: Re: Any way to have two bitcoin wallets on one machine?
