you can easily run as many instances as you want, a quick way is to just create a link for every instance that includes following parameters:
bitcoin-qt -conf=wallet1.conf -datadir=/whatever/wallet1
each instance should have set different ports in the config file (or you pass the port as startup parameter -port=xxxx, no need for config file if u dont wanna change other settings)
for more informations about config file and parameters: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin
advantage: running as many instances, even different versions of qt at same time
downside: every instance downloads an extra blockchain, no problem if you have alot of disk space
Topic: Running 2 instances of Bitcoin-QT (2 wallets) (Read 1812 times)
I want to be able to run two wallets so I can keep track of my investment and my short term buying and selling.
Is there any specific procedure for doing this or is it even possible?
