BitSharesX

This looks like a bug in the latest wallet.

Here are the non-broken images for you:

I tried (see http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/migration/howto-exporting-wallet.html#bitshares-1-0-full-client).

When I clicked enter I got the following message: ">> wallet_export_keys C:\Users\My Name\Desktop\keys.json   OK.

However no file was created on my computer. Did you have to do anything different?

Maybe try to run the wallet as administrator

I ran as an administrator and I think I was able to import keys.json. I don't know what to do now.

Here are screenshots of what happens:

How do I ""reclaim" my old BTS1.0, again through the settings menu."?

Sorry I can't get the images to show.

Ok I figured it out. For the benefit of others - As far as I can tell, BitSharesX were renamed to just BitShares, so they are effectively the same thing.

Further complicating things, Bitshares 1.0 (which is what BitSharesX became) was upgraded to BitShares 2.0 and Wallet files are incompatible - looks like it is a whole new blockchain in fact.

My issue was that my backups were from 0.4.27.2 which is incompatible with the last version of the original BitShares 0.9.3.c.

So first, I had to download 0.4.27.2, import my wallet files, then install 0.9.3c on top.

Within 0.9.3c, I then had to export my private keys using the console command wallet_export_keys (see http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/migration/howto-exporting-wallet.html#bitshares-1-0-full-client)

This then gave me a json file of my keys which I could import into the new Bitshares 2.0 client, via the settings menu.

Once imported, I then had to "reclaim" my old BTS1.0, again through the settings menu.

Finally, I can see my original holding.

Hope this helps someone.

I was heavily incentivised by the recent pump  :)

You figured that out quick. You should make a tutorial of what you did.

A nobel example of determination to overcome adversity!

Hi All,

I've been away from BitShares for a few years.

I had a holding in BitSharesX at the time (2014 this would be).

I'm struggling to understand the history of what has happened since then and when I import my original wallet I seem to have zero balance.

Are BTSX no longer accessible / irrelevant?

Thanks All
