\[solved\] Can you Run FTC, LTC clients simultaneously \* Yes, no problem
-
Hi all,
Just curious, when I try to run multiple clients, say FTC and LTC simultaneously, the CPU usage goes to 100% with each client using as much CPU as it can and neither client wants to update the block chain. As soon as I shut down one client, the other updates and runs as normal. Running on a Windows XP VM. Anyone see this before?
Thanks,
Matt

As far as I’m aware you need to switch wallet.dat but you can’t run them simultaneously, I might be wrong though!
-
Hm, well the wallet.dat files are of course in their own dirs in %appdata% corresponding to the particular coin they contain.
-
I did get this issue with LTC and FTC a week ago, the FTC that was started after didn’t want to finish to update (stay in out of sync infinitly) until I close LTC client. But running FTC, WDC and PXC clients simultaneously for 2 days and all is good between those 3 as far as I have seen no out of sync.

You can’t run two scrypt coins at the same time? Think of the internal confusion!!!
You can however, run BTC and FTC/LTC at the same time.
(Disclaimer - I may be talking utter bullsh*…)

[/quote]I have actually successfully run 2x ftc daemons, 2x wdc daemons and a pxc daemon on the same machine when i was testing for my pools. No problem at all.
You just need to ensure that you have different “-datadir” specified with NONE of them in the default location.

Hey, running under Ubuntu 12.04/Mint Maya, i can run both FTC AND LTC clients ok, W7 the same ok under VmWare. i have a few Esxi XP test silos so happy to try if still an issue?
Just PM for more help?
Cheers

[/quote] I am currently running 5 clients simultaneously and not having a problem with updating. However I may be misunderstanding you. If you are talking about multiple FTC clients then I don’t think it’s possible either. But I am running FTC, LTC, BTB, BTC,BBQ at the same time without a problem. However the only time I have ever run in to a problem is when I have multiple setup as servers at the same time and not general clients. -
It is possible to run 2 clients of the same coin (2xftc for example) on the same machine. You simply need to add the -datadir=c:\client1 on the first one and put the config file in there then change the rpcport/port in the feathercoin.conf file to a unique combination. Then on the second client client you specify -datadir=c:\client2 and so on. If you allow one of the clients to use the default location it won’t work.
I can only see why you would want to do the above on a pool though.
