I'm planning to run btc qt wallet and bitcoin abc's core wallet on the same PC. To avoid the 2 wallets meddling with each other, is it sufficient by defining different -datadir and -port options? Any other switches I should specify?

I've had the same problem, if you change the datadir it should be sufficient, also you can monitor the resource usage of both.

-datadir should be enough to avoid conflicts. Bitcoin ABC installs on the same folder by default as Bitcoin Core which corrupted my installation... it was insane, I had to sync the entire thing from day one..

Ideally, you do not want to have both on the same computer. Pick up a cheap laptop to run altcoin software, that's my recommendation. Not even VM is enough isolation, always be paranoid with these altcoin scammers.

This is what I actually do when I run any software wallet on my PC. I have separate laptops for dealing with BTC and altcoin. I never run altcoin wallets on my BTC wallet PC, because I don't know which is legit. I don't want to take a risk for my assets. You have given the best solution to the guy.
