Hi there! Is there any way to share one wallet.dat file across different bitcoin wallet instances My goal is to create failover wallet service, so I could manage my funds if main server with wallet is going down. As I understand default HD wallet creates only 100 keypairs, so after I use all of them I should sync wallet.dat file with my backup server, is it true?
Use the same wallet file with multiple wallet instances #18205

As the instances of the wallet.dat are not synchronized, at best loosely connected via the p2p transaction relay, this will lead to address and key-reuse if you are lucky. Double spends and loss of funds if you are less lucky.
I think we should document better than wallet files can not be copied and used at the same time.
