Does that affect me if I'm doing a fresh install? I didn't have QT or the blockchain on my HDD before.



EDIT: ~50% = ~20min



EDIT2: ~60% = ~35min



EDIT3: :/ it really slowed down now, ~62.5% = ~60min



EDIT4: ~66.5% = ~90min



EDIT5: ~75% = ~110min



EDIT6: ~85.5% = ~130min taking up 800mb of my ram and from time to time really slowing down my laptop



EDIT8: Well I fked it up. I foolishly started to play around with QT and encrypted the wallet which I didn't know would prompt a restart and so I lost connection with 50 peers and probably some time before I get those back. ~87,5% = ~150min



EDIT9: ~88.5% = ~180min



EDIT10: ~91.5% = ~210min



EDIT11: ~92.5% = ~230min For some reason the system is becoming unresponsive every 30seconds or so for a couple of seconds, and my laptop really should be able to handle this without breaking a sweat.



EDIT12: woke up to a crashed QT, when I ran it again it showed ~96% = ~640min



EDIT13: ~98% = ~700min



EDIT14: 100% = ~740min and this is with 1 restart and 1 crash Does that affect me if I'm doing a fresh install?

Quote gmaxwell commented 2 months ago



Eh. The functionality is desirable, but the ability to filesystem split the wallet and data dir is a surefire way to end up with a corrupted wallet. This is subtle and I suspect hard to warn people out of doing, esp since it would mostly work. (until it eats your keys for lunch).







Whats the problem with using multiple wallet files with the same bitcoin client?



Ok you could miss recieved coins if you update the blockchain when there is the wrong wallet loaded, but if you make sure that doesnt happen, is there any technical reason why i cant make 10 wallets and load them when needed?



Because im already doing that and didnt have any problem so far let user select wallet file with -wallet=foo.datWhats the problem with using multiple wallet files with the same bitcoin client?Ok you could miss recieved coins if you update the blockchain when there is the wrong wallet loaded, but if you make sure that doesnt happen, is there any technical reason why i cant make 10 wallets and load them when needed?Because im already doing that and didnt have any problem so far

None at all, it just isn't implemented.



What is a problem, is separating the wallet and the database environment. If your client (or your computer) crashes, you must have the database environment (the files in $DATADIR/database) to recover the data. If those are not available, the wallet may get corrupted. BDB isn't really intended to be used with free-floating database files - it expects them to be part of such an environment.



Now, we are slowly moving away from BDB. 0.8 (and this next-test build) do not use it anymore for the block chain indexes (it uses LevelDB instead), and we'll likely stop using BDB for wallet files as well. At that point, it will be perfectly safe to select any file/location for your wallet.

So the wallet.dat contains puplic/private keys, transactions, and the block count where it got all previous transactions ?



If i didnt use a wallet for some time, it will rescan the blockchain i got on my disk without downloading it again? Is there any status shown on the client which tells me if the wallet is up to date with the blockchain dat files?

Because i didnt really notice something like that so i guessed its better not to recieve coins on wallets which arent currently 'loaded' while updating the blockchain with another wallet.
