    i want to use pd and particl qt on same pc,read it is possible. but i get no peers on desktop and even my qt won’t sync anymore. is there any solution to this?

    It is definitely possible to have both ParticlQT and Particl Desktop software on the same machine.

    Both QT and PD use particl-core (the particld executable), which provides the Particl blockchain and related services and functionality. It is particl-core that manages the wallets and synchronisation functionality. There is a standard file path on each operating system where particl-core stores its data files (which includes the wallet files) by default, and in the absence of any configuration pointing to using an alternative data directory, this default data directory is used.

    To put this in a slightly different way: both PD and QT interact with the particl-core service… with both QT and PD providing a graphical user interface to particl-core functionality. You can, in fact, use the command-line/terminal to also interact with particl-core via the particl-cli application as well, for example. QT and PD are just 2 different graphical applications for providing particl-core functionality to the user.

    So answer your 2nd question first: if both QT and PD are launched without providing an alternative data directory to use to either of them, then both will have access to and utilize the same wallet files.

    Just note that you shouldn’t run both QT and PD at the same time. In theory its possible to do so (starting QT first and then PD), but its best to rather not do this.

    In terms of your syncing issues, this would not have anything to do with either QT or PD, or having both on the same machine. Syncing is handled by particl-core, and there are couple of reasons for why your node might not be connecting with peers and syncing. There are a couple of commands you can run (either in PD or QT or via particl-cli) to try and determine what is happening. There’s also the particl-core log file (named “debug.log”) that you can look over to try and determine where there might be issues. It might be helpful to look through that log file and check if any errors are occurring: would help with narrowing down a possible solution to your issue
