Hi friends,
maybe somebody can help me with a problem?!
Situation:
- I downloaded a Stratis wallet for myself onto my laptop (later named laptop 1) and transferred some Stratis to the wallet
- then I downloaded an other Stratis wallet for my girlfriend on her laptop (later named laptop 2) and transferred some Stratis to the wallet
For both Wallets we used the same seed and I saved the backups for both.
Now, while travelling Laptop 1 got stolen so that we both have to use Laptop 2.
Is it possible to run both Wallets on the same laptop?
If yes: How??
Many thanks in advance & kind regards
Option 1 - single installation with multiple wallets:
If you have both wallet.dat files and you want to access the coins from a single wallet you can use both. Rename the laptop 1 file wallet.dat.1 and the second wallet.dat.2. The one that you want to use, close the wallet and rename the file to wallet.dat. Afterwards rename it back to 1 or 2.
Option 2 - single installation with one wallet:
If you have the private keys import the private keys of the wallet from the stolen laptop to the wallet on the other laptop and both wallets will be combined into one.
Option 3 - multiple installations:
Create a folder roaming\stratis2. Copy all the files from the main roaming\stratis folder to the new folder except the wallet.dat file. Cooy the backup wallet.dat file from the stolen notebook to the roaming\stratis2 folder. In your stratis.conf file in the stratis2 folder add the lines port=10000 and rpcport=10001. Create a desktop icon called Stratis2 and in the path let it open "stratis-qt -datadir=c:\users\yourusername\appdata\roaming\stratis2". When you click on this icon it will open the second wallet. Running just "stratis-qt" will open the first wallet.
Great, thanks a lot!!!
