It is now possible to load wallets dynamically at runtime by calling the `loadwallet` RPC. + +The wallet can be specified as file/directory basename (which must be located in the `walletdir` directory), or as an absolute path to a file/directory. + +This feature is currently only available through the RPC interface. Wallets loaded in this way will not display in the bitcoin-qt GUI. |
