Switching between different wallets without resynchronizing the entire blockchain



  • There's a very important feature that is missing from the SiaCoin 1.2.2 client on Mac OS X 10.12.5
    and that is the option to switch between wallets without reinstalling the application and redownloading the entire blockchain.
    At the moment the only option to switch between different wallets is to reinstall the application.

    Replacing the consensus.db and consensus.log files in the library of a new SiaCoin client installation with already downloaded versions of the blockchain freezes the newly installed application

    Also, there's an error message that is displayed every time a new install of SiaCoin is done and run for the first time. The error message disappears only upon closing the first instance of the app and running it again

    That's one way. Not the easiest.

    You can simply change the contents of the wallet folder. No reason to to redownload the whole consensus. From that point Sia only rescands the blockchain for the TXs, it does not redownload. I can swap wallets in a few minutes on >1.2.2.
