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?

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.

however, the GUI does not support this feature and opens "default" by default :)

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

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?
