Migration Guide for 1.0 to 2.0

[xeroc]

0.9.3c has two kinds of json files. (1) one from GUI export, (2) one from command line export. You cannot import (1) in Graphene. You should use (2). I am sure 0.9.3d will have identical json files with these two methods.

The purpose of the "c" release was to put the correct backup function into the main menu bar .. However, the windows binaries did not include that patch :(

For example, can you import the json file from 0.9.3c into the graphene cli?

I don't know about that particular questions .. but I'll research

You most certainly can import the 0.9.3 json into the cli_wallet.  Use

Code Select Expand


Import_accounts <path to exported json> <password of wallet you exported from>


The issue is that this doesn't automatically claim the balances these keys hold.  They have to be imported one by one (unless this has been updated recently) I think the proper syntax is

Code Select Expand


Import_balance <account name> <private key> true

But I always import my accounts and then use the gui to import my balances cause it's way easier.

I think this page needs far more detail: http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration/howto-importing-wallet.html

The export pages is nice with good detail, but the other half needs work.  I made some comments related to this in the testnet thread but nobody addressed those points.

Bitshares in Windows might need to be started as administrator, if writing to c:/ drive. "wallet_export_keys c:\keys.json"

Thx for the info .. i'll add it to the guide

What will happen to the 1.0 BTA yield? Will it be distributed at a shot when 2.0 starts?

Very good question .. i have no idea @bytemaster ?

Hey there,

As some of you already know, I am currently writing some documentation. I would love some input with respect to the
Migration Guide here:
http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration/

In the end, we should have this thing finished a few days before the launch.

Please tell me:
* what is missing
* what needs to be stated more clearly
* how the migration can be made easier for the people to understand
* is everything correct?

Thanks for your input
