Has anyone managed to get two bitshares wallets running on one machine?
Is it possible at all?
Can you have them share the same chain?
-
At least in BTS0.9 that is quite easy .. you can call
wallet_create mywallet
to create another wallet and switch between wallets with
open default
open mywallet
however, the GUI does not support this feature and opens "default" by default :)

Oh of course... :) But I guess there isn't a way to have them both working at the same time?

It should be very easy to support this future. Hope on Graphene they will.

Haven't tried, but it should be possible to run several instances of the CLI client with different --data-dir options.
But I think it's unlikely that they can share the same chain database.

Correct. If you try to open two 0.9.x wallets on the same data directory the second one will be blocked by the LOCK files.
On Graphene however since the cli_wallet is light by default it is quite simple and the intended mode of operation.
