@bitblt looks like the public key shown in your 0.9.3 wallet is not same as the keys on the chain (above). I noticed that 0.8.0 is released on 2015-03-23, just a few days before the registration of account "yuma300", so most likely it's you. Upgrading from 0.8.0 to 0.9.3 won't cause lose of keys, so probably your keys are lost before upgrading. Since you can still create that account with 0.8.0 recently, it shouldn't be in the wallet already. Maybe you've registered the account before with another computer? Have you made a backup in 0.8.0 after registered the account?

Since my wallet does not own yuma300, I guess # of  keys says "0".
So probably I don't have any import key 'yuma300'.

  ORZ.....

xeroc, Than your very much.

In my 0.9.3c, it says not registerd. And any assets does not how up...
Well, I guess my wallet (0.9.3c) does not own 'yuma300'. Maybe my client lost yuma300 key somehow.

[xeroc]

If you have not *registered* yuma300 in 0.8.0, how come it is registered on the blockchain now?
How did the funds go into that account if not you have done that?

To me it seems that this account was indeed "registered"(!) already in 0.8.0, but from an outside perspective there is no way of tell.
Assuming that now one else has taken your account (and funded), then YOU have to have the keys somewhere. Probably in you BTS 0.9.3 installation..
Please go there and verify that you have indeed not registered it there (it will probably tell you that you have registered it, though, if that is the case, you should be able to export the required keys to access the account and its funds)

[bitblt]

your account is already registered and you have claimed some funds:
4,288.54 OBITS
105 BTS
if you click your account in your wallet ... do you see "(Your Account)" below the icon on the left side? If yes, then you are good to go and can use the account with its funds

No I can not see Your Account https://gyazo.com/373e1886d39dc779809a0a91715156bb
I will explain my  step.

I created account "yuma300" at 0.8.0. But I did not register and did not sync at all.
I just keep the account "yuma300".
Recently I created account "yuma3000" at bitshares 2.0.
In the last week, I bought OBITS and I specify "yuma300" as destination address by mistake.
I was supposed to specify 'yuma3000'....

Now I'm trying to salvage 'yuma300'.
I upgraded my bitshares desktop client from 0.8.0 to 0.9.3. Then I export import key by using command 'wallet_export_keys' as described http://docs.bitshares.org/bitshares/migration/howto-exporting-wallet.html
I could make import key and tried to import the key to openledger.
I select correct import key and input correct password. But noting happen.

> Do you see your funds and (registered) accounts in the 0.9.3 client?

No, I can not register. My account obviously  has more than 5BTS and 4000OBITS.
But the balance does not show up on the 0.9.3 client... Also I can not sync on the 0.9.3 client
How can I register?

Hi I'm trying to migrate 0.9.3 to 2.0.
So I select import key and type correct path phrase at wallet management console.
But nothing happen like this.

https://gyazo.com/bc3cca6f81079f9125d13c77ddbff278

When I made import key, blockchain is not sync at all because 0.9.3c could not connect network.
Does it make problem.
Please help me...

Welcome to the forum,

it seems the file that you have tried to import does not contain any funds.
Do you see your funds and (registered) accounts in the 0.9.3 client?

I cannot locate the link.
Tried searching for it.
Is there any documentation or instructions on how to claim your BTS from earlier angelshares and protoshares?

So your issue has been solved in the stupid questions thread?

How do you convert a bitcoin private key (from angel shares) into 'wallet import format'? Is there a tool to do that?

I'm using the web wallet and it's asking for "PASTE PRIVATE KEYS (WALLET IMPORT FORMAT - WIF)"

thanks

a bitcoin private key should be in wif format already .. does it start wif "5" or "L"?
have you tried putting your private key? If yes and it does not work .. what is the first 2 letters of the privkey?

ok, thanks, I thought wif was something more exotic

Thanks for your prompt answers guys

Bittrex missed the BTS2.0 snapshot, and failing to upgrade in 2.0 in time. I think they are probably working on the upgrade now since they originally missed it and suffered double spends because of that.

[Bitshares222]

My registered name is limpbusta1 can someone send me even 0.001 bts?
Another question do someone knows what is going on with bittrex? my funds are in there but the wallet is freezed

[mindphlux]

If you do not have an old wallet to import, you should still download a backup.

Bitshares works with names, so you do not need to look for public keys. Anyone can just transfer funds to the name you registered!!

[phillyguy]

What if im new and do not know about previous wallet and I just want to register on the new wallet, do I have to back up anything? How do I see my public key on the new wallet and how can I send and receive funds since public wallet is not appearing?

Use Bitshares.openledger.info and create a new wallet. You can see your
public key in the settings and send/receive funds should work fine. I've already sent some funds between my accounts, placed a buy order on the DEX, etc.

[xeroc]

What if someone sent me bts or bitassets during that period? Are new keys generated only when i make transactions? If i know for sure that nobody sent me anything i can skip transaction scanning.

Yes, only if you are sure you can skip the scanning ..
Because of TITAN you need to derive your own keys for incoming transactions .. it scans all transactions if it may be for you .. if you miss one you can't spend the funds ...

anyway .. the bts1 blockchain will not 'disappear' .. you can rescan the old blockchain later on and try to catch your transactions

You are saying that my 4.1 wallet file or .jason (exported) file will not be recognised in Graphene until I do something I have not been able to do for months (sync a wallet)?

So, what if I can never get 9.3 to run on my computer?  All my old exported .jason's and wallet files are suddenly worthless and unopenable?

If you have not used any of your stake from your wallet then you can simply install the newest version .. recover your backup and export the graphene wallet file .. no need to sync ..

unless you have made transactions or market orders AFTER you have exported your file (like an old copy/backup) .. then you would need to resync the blockchain to "catch" all your funds!

Will I be able to import my keys in WIF format in new BTS 2.0 client? Or will be some way to import old json style backup?

wif will be ok .. it already is ok in the testnet ..
you need, however, to distinguish ACCOUNT wifs (that give access to your account) and balance wifs (that actually CONTAIN your funds -- related to TITAN) ..
Both can be imported manually .. but you will need a cli_wallet to do so eventually (maybe the webwallet can be extended to do so aswell)

you can test in - try to import your backupt to the testnet graphene.bitshares.org - once it's up again

when will the official version of 0.9.3 be released? Right now it's billed as a pre-release.

windows version is working just fine for me.

Should I sticky this thread somewhere / move it to newbies?

Good idea.

[fav]

Why do we need to upgrade to 9.3

What happens if we just stay in 9.1 or 9.2 (and back up our wallet there) when the lauch hapens?

as far as I know the new wallet_export_keys function is introduced in 0.9.3 - which is needed to import your keys to graphene

When is the best time to backup your account, if I write down the private key is that okay?

some time between now and the 12th of October would be okay I guess. and yup, just make sure you spell everything correct
