Managing Instances in the QT Wallet ( =V1.0.23)
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:
- V1.0.23 or older MWC QT-Wallet Software: https://github.com/mwcproject/mwc-qt-wallet/releases
You can Create a new Instance by:
- Starting the QT Wallet
- Clicking "Wallet Instances" at the bottom of the Wallet
- In the appearing Pop-up Click "Select"
- Creating a new Folder with any Name you want
- select this Folder and confirm
- Click Apply
Then the Wallet will let you initialize a new Instance or restore an existing Seed. Choose Strong Passwords and Backup your Seed - Stay Safe!
Switching between Instances follows the same Logic, but instead of creating a new Folder, choose an existing one.
You can Switch Instances by:
- Starting the QT Wallet
- Clicking "Wallet Instances" at the bottom of the Wallet
- In the Pop-up Click "Select"
- select the Folder of the Instance you want to open (Default is gui_wallet713_data)
- Click Apply
- Enter the Password for this Wallet
