\[Solved\] Same Wallet on 2 computer, help?
-
Hi Guys
i have just got a second computer for mining, i want to install the same wallet with same address on the new computer too, do i just backup the wallet from old computer and then put it on the new one?
i am not deleting my old one so when i open the wallet from both computers will it all sync up?
thank you

hey,
I’ve been testing just that myself today and my “findings” are:
Assuming you created your wallet.dat on comp1 and copied it to comp2 to overwrite it’s wallet.dat …
… if you create new addresses on comp1, they will not show up in comp2’s “receive” addesses list, but if you receive payments to the newly created addresses they will show up in transactions on comp2.
If you want to have everything @comp2 to show up like @comp1 you have overwrite the wallet.dat @comp2 with the one from comp1 again.That’s all in know myself for now =) maybe someone else could tell more about that.

Hummm, but what I am trying to do is keep same address both sides, so after I copy wallet.dat to comp2 will it sync from then on?
So what I am trying to do is just have mirror wallets on both computers
Can this be done? Will it work?
Thanks

dame ok, thanks for that :D
but i can always back up wallet.dat and if i lose my laptop or something, recovery is always safe right ?

I have just bought a new pc aswell (f*ck xmas presents lol) and saw this thread and started to think to myself would I be just aswell just starting another wallet on the new pc then just forwarding ltc to their! In my head this would be a much easier solution I cant see why it wouldnt work? Of course I will back up the .dat

I know I’m new to this and I’m sure there are other ways to do the actual mining but why wouldn’t you just keep the wallet running on one computer and have anything collected from pools or any type of mining you’re doing transferred directly to the the one wallet, which would remain running on the one machine - It just seems like adding unnecessary steps. By separating the workers you’d see how each particular miner was performing anyway.
Ex: If I’m using Pool Y and running 2 rigs, both rigs would send data to the pool and the pool would send all of my FTC to the address which is all stored on one machine.

Like above, why run two different wallets when it could all got into one? Who says your wallet has to be on your mining rigs? Why not run the wallet on a normal PC in case your mining rig dies due to 100% 24/7 running.
Let me know what you guys think,
