(Open at the same time, Example: 1 Mixing, other for Transfers)
we have a guide how to do it on PC but i am not sure how that translates to Mac

Sure, just involves some AppleScript magic :smile:
 
Not sure about AppleScript magic but you can always use Terminal:
Code:
/Applications/Dash-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Dash-Qt -datadir=/path/to/datadir/

ok

Hit Enter and watch it running?
Or..Not sure I get the question then....

I mean you can pass whatever command line argument you like, for multiple wallets proper one should be this though:
Code:
/Applications/Dash-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Dash-Qt -wallet=somewallet.dat
Code:
/Applications/Dash-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Dash-Qt -wallet=someotherwallet.dat
etc

etc

(remember i am an idiot when it comes to terminal and code and such :rolleyes:)

so i can rename my wallet.dat's to anything (example: somewallet.dat /somewallet1.dat/ somewallet2.dat....)
and then terminal 'finds' that wallet and opens it, so i can do 1 after the other, and they all run independent
Mixing on one wallet
sending /receiving on other

Yep, just like for PC, your wallet will try to find wallet.dat's (or whatever you ask it to find via "-wallet") in "-datadir" you specified (or in the default one if nothing was specified).
And just like for PC, you should/can NOT run two wallet simultaneously in the same datadir but you can run them one by one (run first once, close it, run second one, etc)
 
there we go :sad:
i want to run them parallel/ simultaneous to each other
Then you simply need to copy default datadir somewhere (to save time you would otherwise spend redownloading/resyncing blockchain) and use "-datadir" command option to run them both at once
 
One important note though: do NOT use (in new datadir) the copy of wallet.dat you already have, generate a new one. And remember to backup them all ;)

...plus give each one a different RPC-port in its dash.conf, e.g. "rpcport=9998" and "rpcport=9997".

Hello Udjin! :) On windows even with multiple different -datadir paths, you have to put listen=0 in the .conf file or -listen=0 in the shortcuts or they can't run at the same time.
 
Lol... moli all fine? Haven't seen you for ages here ;) yeah...listen=0..... prepare yourself ...v12.1 incomming ....if you are back again ;)
