Multi wallet on Windows Machine

[bigrcanada]

Hi team,

I've read the previous link on here about how to install multi wallet. I still dont get it. I want to install 3 wallets on a single PC. Currently I have 1 wallet with DASH in it. The other 2 wallets are on separate PC's. I have back ups of those wallets.

What I wish to do is install the 3 wallets in to 3 new folders. Then transfer the wallet.dat that corresponds to each of the unique specific wallets folders. Is this possible? thanks.

Hello bigrcanada.
It is possible.
Do these steps:

1 - create "DASH3WALLETS" folder on your disk
2 - copy the client dash-qt.exe into C:\DASH3WALLETS\
3 - create folder inside of it like: wallet1, wallet2, wallet3
4 - create the shortcut of the client which is in the point "2" and put each of the shortcut in each folder of "wallet1, wallet2 and wallet3
5 - click right mouse on the shortcut and go to the bottom to use "properties"
6 - Change the line of the target for like this: C:\DASH3WALLETS\dash-qt.exe -datadir=C:\DASH3WALLETS\wallet1\ -listen=0
7 - redo the point 5 and 6 for the folders wallet2 and wallet3
8 - copy the "wallet.dat" file of each wallet which has the coins inside the each folder of wallet1, wallet2 and wallet3
9 - you can have 3 wallets opened at the same time.

There was a guide somewhere on the forum but can`t find it neither....

what happens to the files in the appdata?

what happens to the files in the appdata?

appdata is used if nothing else is specified. You can either use it as a default wallet (besides the three wallets mentioned above) or delete (better: save somewhere else) them.

I use _ALWAYS_ the "-datadir" option to keep my appdata folder completely crypto-currency-free.

a) I have a lot of different crypto-currencies, so appdata whould be VERY crowded.
b) Nasty software like viruses and trojans look there first.

I haven't been able to find a way of changing the target location for a specific wallet. I tried last weekend and they all kept pointing to the appsdata wallet location. Is there an FAQ for this somewhere?
