Deleted this note as I figured it out and am possibly a "special"

I would like to a create new BitShares X wallet with a stronger password.  What is the best way to go about this?  Do I need to start from scratch and register a new name or can I keep the old name?

I could be wrong but try saving a copy of the BitShares X folder, uninstall and delete all the folders.  When you create a new wallet, make your password strong at that point.  Once you're able to open the wallet, go back and switch out the BitShares X folders, close the wallet and reopen it. 

Let me know if it works!


edit: Try in the console
Code: [Select]
wallet_change_passphrase then space, then enter your new passphrase and hit enter.

I was never able to import the .json file, but what I did figure out is that I could replace the new BitShares X folder with the former that I had saved in the folder:

~/Library/Application Support

If you run into this problem too, let me know!  I'd be happy to help try to walk you through it.

hmmm now with the same command I used before I'm getting:

Code: [Select]
20019 file_not_found: file not found
Filename to import from could not be found!

Mac version 0.2.3

Ok, can we get a copy of the log files from ~/Library/Application Support/BitShares X/ ?

I was able to access the log folder, which logs do you need a copy of?  (blockchain, default, p2p, or rpc?)
What's your preferred method to send to you?

Thank you bytemaster

Hey BM, there is no bitshares x folder. Would the apple error report help?

Couldn't open mine in OSX 10.7.5 to begin with. Crashes instantly when you do.

I've been having a problem with the BitSharesX (Mac version 0.2.1) wallet crashing every time I open it and get the following notification:



Has anyone else had an issue with this?
If I click "reopen" or if I click "Don't reopen", the same result is "An error occurred while trying to start."

..I've even re-installed the wallet twice and to no avail.  I did back up the .json file and still have control off all my private keys, so no worries there.
