Electrum and Bitcoin-QT run together

[salty]

Hi

Can you run Electrum alongside Bitcoin-QT and have 2 wallets live on the same computer? I want to download Electrum but I'm worried it'll mess my Bitcoin-QT wallet file up - it is backed up btw

Cheers

You can also run multiple instances of electrum each with its own wallet if you use the correct commandline options. Same goes for the BitcoinQt. So you don't have to use 2 different clients if your goal is to use multiple wallets at the same time on the same computer.
