Title: Bitshares2 light - how to import seed
Post by: arp on March 01, 2016, 07:19:30 pm

Hi,

How do I import a seed (mnemonic) into my bitshares light client?
I copy/pasted the mnemonic (brain key?) via the Advanced link but my account doesn't reflect in the client. What went wrong here???

Where did you get the mnemonic? Are you trying to claim shares from a BTC donation?

I got this seed from my bitshares-1 wallet I believe. I had it imported in the new online bitshares wallet in Chrome, lately I deleted Chrome from my system but downloaded the new bitshares client.
Via "Advanced" I imported this seed (16 words) (I thought) but my wallet stays zero and default name.  :-[

Importing the seed alone may not be sufficient ... please go to the wallet management console and also click on "LOOKUP BALANCES"!
Do you see your funds there?
