Running multiple wallets

Separate your funds into multiple wallets, for different purposes

You might want to create and use multiple wallets for different usage. The goal is to separate your finances, so they won’t mix up. This approach will also help you gain a bit more privacy (never linking all of your available funds).

Same as on Bitcoin core wallet, launching multiple wallets on Rhombus Core is as easy as adding few -wallet= parameters - depending on your setup and location of your wallet files.

For example, if your wallets are in these locations:

.rhombus/
    primary-wallet.dat
    market/
        wallet.dat
    savings/
        wallet.dat

You would use these parameters:

$ rhombus-qt -wallet=primary-wallet.dat -wallet=market -wallet=savings

Notice that for the primary-wallet.dat in the root folder, we added .dat to the parameter, which tells Rhombus Core that it’s directly a wallet file, not its folder (as in case of market/wallet.dat and savings/wallet.dat).

This will open one Rhombus Core client with all 3 wallets loaded. You can then easily switch between them by choosing active wallet from the new dropdown (see screenshot).

Rhombus Desktop launches with all available wallets loaded by default.
Therefore no extra configuration or setup is needed.

Create a new custom application launcher in ~/.local/share/applications:

$ nano ~/.local/share/applications/"Rhombus Core".desktop

Then paste and edit these lines (mainly Exec=) to match your setup:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
