Just wondering whether it is possible to run multiple instances of NU concurrently. Not of the same wallet, but with different wallets. E.g I have been given the keys from someone else’s wallet and I like to run it at the same time as mine on the same computer.
Is it just a matter of creating another instance of Nu and changing the ports, or does it require a modified client due to the ports it is communicating on? I’ve been fiddling with it without success. Anyone who has it working and like to share?
I think you also need different data directories, including another copy of the blockchain, because each nud/nu-qt instance locks its blockchain. So try to specify a different datadir parameter, in addition to a different port, for each instance.
You need a different datadir that you provide with -datadir=/full/path and either in nu.conf in this datadir or as parameters you must also provide a different port and rpcport (unless you run the GUI without RPC server). At least one port above the rpcport must be available (for the NBT RPC port).
Each wallet has its own folder, you end up with downloading and syncing the blockchain twice but it works.
I also made sure the rpcport in the config files are different (14001 and 14003).
