Multiple wallet #4093

Leanerz commented at 3:48 PM on April 25, 2014: none

Hi,

How to use multiple wallet with bitoind and JSON RPC (PHP) ?

Waiting for your answer.

Thank's

This is not possible with bitcoind at this point. You can select a different wallet with the -wallet argument, but you need to restart the daemon to select a different one. They cannot be used at the same time. Other wallets may allow this.

I hear that bitcoin team will add this feature soon no ?

I don't like other wallets because no way to controle them from command line or JSON RPC !

Thank's for your answer.

There are not really plans, but at some point in the future it will be possible in one way or another.

Restarting bitcoin at each transaction very big problem, the only way is to use different servers :(

Thank's.

There are some pull requests that implemented multi-wallet support, but they never made it because more work is needed. If you (or someone else) feel like picking this up, see:

#2124 Dynamically Loadable Multiple Wallet Support Complete!!!
#2407 Added CWalletManager class to support loading of multiple wallets.

Ok thank you for your support, really appreciated :)

BTW; about other wallet software: are you sure that there is no other wallet that offers a RPC-like interface?

There is an issue for JSON-RPC support in BitcoinJ: https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/issues/detail?id=529

I know that Electrum at some point introduced a command-line interface. No idea how useable it is.

Maybe CoinVault, the wallet software that @codeshark - who did the preliminary multi-wallet work for Bitcoin Core - is working on now? see https://github.com/ciphrex/CoinVault

You could ask on the mailing list.

I just found that Armory has a prelminary JSON-RPC interface: https://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/armoryd.py Haven't tested it myself.

Any documentantion about Bitcoin Armory ? JSON-RPC and installation on Linux OS ?

Thank you

Ask them. This is the issue tracker for Bitcoin Core; not Armory.

For full multiwallet support as well as hierarchical deterministic keychains (BIP0032), multisig, offline signing, multidevice account sharing, and (soon-to-come) full RPC/websocket support, I recommend taking a look at Bitcoin Vault (https://ciphrex.com)

He support JSON RPC ?

Thank's a lot.

still would be a great feature....what with how long it's taking now and the issues of possible db corruption. I'll look @ the old pull requests , refactor and try to work on them further. IMO in terms of ease of use, this should be pretty high on the TODO list. I'll let you know how far i get.
