Managing Instances in the QT Wallet
To make sure you are seperating different Amounts of MWC you can create different Instances.
This is recommended to ensure you don't accidentally spend any of your HODL'ed Outputs.
Creating an instance is similar to creating a new wallet with it's own Seed, but you can switch between them in the same GUI without a big struggle. Also Instead of having 2 Installations of the QT Wallet in place the Data of the new Instance can be saved in the same Folder as the default one.

To follow this tutorial, you will need the following:
- Up-to-date MWC QT-Wallet Software: https://github.com/mwcproject/mwc-qt-wallet/releases
(There is an Older Guide for Version pre 1.0.24)
You can Create a new Instance by:
- Starting the QT Wallet
- Clicking the "New Instance" Button
- In the appearing Pop-up name your Instance and choose it's password
- Note down and confirm the Seedphrase
Choose Strong Passwords and Backup your Seed - Stay Safe!
You can Restore an Instance by:
- Starting the QT Wallet
- Clicking the "Restore Instance" Button
- In the appearing Pop-up name your Instance and choose it's password

Switching between Instances can be easily done after starting the wallet by selecting one in the Dropdown.
If an Instance does not appear in the Dropdownlist you can manually search the Folder by clicking the "Open Wallet" Button which will bring up the old fashioned Dialog to select a Walletdata Folder.
