Title: Is it possible to open Bitshares backup wallet without a full client?
Post by: fundomatic on August 09, 2015, 05:30:49 pm

Hi,

I'm traveling and I haven't got a computer where I can run/install a Bitshares client.

Is there any way to use the backup wallet without a full client.

Thanks.

You can use wallet.bitshares.org .. but it will not allows you to import any of your private keys .. you could however create a new account there and send your funds over to it .. (keep the recover passphrase secure)

This will also be different in BTS2 and we will be more flexible!

Thanks for the reply,

I think I did not make myself clear enough,

I've got a backup wallet which I made in my Bitshares client.

I need to open that wallet to move the funds but I haven't got a client to open that wallet.

May be there is a light wallet which I can run on 32bit old machine or RaspberyPi2.

I got that .. but I fear that only the full client can use these backups ..
sorry
