Topic: How to create second wallet under the same OS (Read 670 times)
I recommend MultiBit as well.
Yeah.
Note that a single wallet.dat file can have tons of different private keys

I see, thank you guys.
To create a second wallet do i just close the client, move the wallet.dat from the default location and start the client again?
I'm getting new set of 10 private keys unrelated to the previous ones, right?

Use MultiBit, problem solved.
The standard client allow you to switch wallet only if you close the client, manually swap the wallet.dat file and start it again...

Is there a way to have 2 wallets under the same OS and swap them in the client?
There is no way to swap them in the client. You could shut down the client, swap the files by hand, and then start the client back up. If you do that, be VERY careful that you don't accidentally delete, overwrite, or otherwise lose one of the wallets.Do you just use the built in wallet encryption or use outside program like tryecrypt to encrypt it again?
I just use the built in encryption. That is good enough if the only thing you are trying to protect is your private keys. If you are trying to protect your privacy as well, you may want to consider additional encryption.
I want to have one wallet for day to day use and one wallet for savings.
