I've run 0.9.3 but the application won't start. Are there some folders i need to remove before reinstalling 0.9.3 to give it a better chance? Thank you.
I'm on windows 7 64bit
The startup takes awhile, especially if you have low RAM. How much RAM do you have?
4 GB 3.47 GB is useable and physical available is about 1.9 GB
I let it run for a few hours but there was no system activity so i figured it had simply stalled....
I did not uninstall any previous versions before instaling and running 0.9.3. Could that be part of the issue?
Thanks very much cube
There is probably lack of a seed node. You can try download the bts1 blockchain and replace your current empty one. So instead of syncing with seed nodes and other peer nodes, you copy over the entire blockchain.

Open the Windows Explorer and go to %appdata%\Bitshares
Quit bts0.9.3 if you are running it. Extract all the files into this folder. Run the bts0.9.3 client and do a 'scan' at the console.
Ok I followed the instructions and this time made it to the login screen.....so brilliant thank you.
However, when i attempted to import my wallet backup .json file, the client produces an error message,;
Failed to restore wallet backup. Your original wallet has been resored. Error: boost::filesystem::remove: The directory is not empty: "C:/Users/Ben Mason/AppData/Roaming/BitShares\Wallets\default" (13)
I'm sure my password and backup file are correct. Wow this is trick and nerve-jangling for someone as none techi as me!
A bit more information would help.
Before you installed 0.9.3 bts client, did you have an earlier version of bts client installed? What was the version?
How did you produce the backup.json file? What was the wallet version that you used to produce the backup.json file? How did you restore the backup.json file (describe step-by-step)?
the previous version looks like it was 0.9.1, therefore the backup was produced from that version.
I attempted to restore the backup in 0.9.3 by;
selecting file
selecting import wallet
selecting the backup file
answering yes to replacing the existing wallet
typing the password
I haven't been able to make any transactions since 0.9.1 so all I need is to be able to import all my keys to 2.0.......am i right in thinking i still need to produce a new backup file from within the 0.9.3 client?
