Multiple instances, each with its own wallet?

[maxocoin]

Hi,

I'm using Multibit classic, I basically have 2 wallets, a very old one, with lots of bitcoind imported keys and a new one that only has a few  multibit keys.

The problem is that the "new wallet" missed a few transactions, you can see them on "blockchain.info" but they were not picked up by multibit.

I suppose that I could fix it with a "reset blockchain and transactions" command.

The problem is, that the "old wallet" takes THREE FULL DAYS to fully synchronize :-(

Is there a way to force synchronization ONLY on ONE wallet? (close and open the walled doesn't do the trick)

I was wondering if  there is a way to start 2 different instances of Multibit, each with a different wallet open?  This way "resetting the transactions" on the "new wallet (around 1 hour to synchronize) won't reset the "old wallet)

Cheers

Not sure if thats would work, but did you try:

#1 close the old wallet
#2 do the rescan
#3 reopen the old wallet

?

You can do this if you follow the instructions in 'how to set up MultiBit to run from a USB drive' but use your main disk drive:

You basically put all the files needed in one directory.

Hi,

I "risked it" and it worked, when I opened the "old wallet" again, it only synchronized from last July, I´m not sure why was this date picked up, but it only took a few minutes to synchronize.
