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?

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

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... |

You can use the -datadir option to specify a different location for the data files for two different bitcoin instances. That will let you run two instances concurrently, each using its own wallet.

It would be nice to have the possibility to choose the wallet via GUI:
File → Open...

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. |

remember to do a "chmod 700" on the savings accounts homedir. Yeah, forgot to mention that. You can also do it on just the ~/.bitcoin folder too if you prefer. |
