Is there any reason why a wallet on a USB drive would have an address on one computer and a different address on another computer?

Are you referring to the file wallet.dat or the bitcoin-qt "wallet" ?

The qt wallet. That's the one that you open up and it has to synchronize with the network, right?

I think you just installed the program to the USB drive, but the wallet.dat + blockchain files are under C: drive.
I need crypto in my life and garbage out of it.

The wallet is the file wallet.dat. qt is the client.

No wonder you have different wallet.dat if you start it on two different pc...

You could specify your datadir using "-datadir=<dir>" as a command line argument. IIRC there's no way to select exclusively the wallet file but the WHOLE data dir right now.

You can also try alternate clients.

If I open the .dat file, will it be under my original address?

The thing is, I don't really have a personal computer that only I use. Although I'm thinking maybe I should just make a wallet on blockchain? Maybe that would be simpler.
