recover transaction

[vikram]

If anyone restored an older wallet backup but is missing market funds even after regenerating keys, there may be a fix in the next version to regenerate the proper keys to claim those funds: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=9194.msg123277#msg123277

Recipient and memo information in the wallet will still probably be missing, but this will be addressed in the future when the transaction scanning is rewritten.

If it makes you feel better .. I am currently having the exact same issue .. :-|
at least on one machine ...

on another machine (same wallet) .. i still see the bitUSD .. so they are still there and under my control ..  :-)

now reading that BM warned here https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=8156.0 that attempts to restore from older back-ups, and market activity in particular, would cause problems at this stage. i must admit that i didn't read through best practices thread early enough due to wrong prioritization of time allocation. so i discovered that appying certain practices which worked fine with other cryptos to BTSX can easily be wrong, and for a non-tech person even more so. as the system crash during trading, and the older wallet backup is used, then unfortunately issues arise...

but still ... theses "issues" do not make you loose funds ... the issues he is basically talking about is "loosing" of memo and recipient information ..
The keys for the exchange/market are still derived deterministically and can always be recovered from the account private key ..
It's just an inconvenience for the user

yeah i know, just feel somewhat embarassed that both myself and user support + devs have to take time and effort to address issues which could have been avoided if I was more aware and attentive. well, this is a learning process for all of us - and learning never ends and in the end the winning platform will likely be the fool-proof one *lol*

IMHO, the entire wallet and all of its accounts and transactions should be recoverable from a https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0039 style 12-word seed phrase

that is already possible now .. there are just some bugs that make it a little difficult CURRENTLY!

and yes .. big marketing will only start once the wallet is stable and more usable ..

And what is the secret series of incantations (console commands) to do this ?

[gamey]

I added this http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BitShares_X_Solutions#Reporting_bugs_to_the_developers

It is same link xeroc gave but also has a nice youtube video I found about creating issues.  (I know... too late.. but FYI)

ok .. same issue again then ..

I just heard of BM that there still is a issue in the client ..
but would you anyway post this to the github issue tracker, or shall I do that for you?

Be ensured, that your funds are still on the blockchain and will NOT get lost ..
keys are deterministic .. once the bug is fixed you will be able to accees them again

For Satoshi's sake, please please do not start BitSharex marketing until each and every one of the messages in this conversation is either obsolete or moot.

Mere mortals ( even with PhDs like kisa ) cannot handle this !

[kisa]

is the syncing finished in the wallet? "getinfo"?
do you see transactions in your history?

run
"wallet_recover_transaction TXID"
for every single TXID again
