Hey Everyone -
It's been a few years since my last post and since I've been active in the BitShares community, but just wanted to drop in and say "hey" and see if I may be able to get some help around getting back up to speed with the latest happenings. For those who don't know me - I've been around since the early days (was a miner of Protoshares). For those who do know me, you may recall I was fascinated by distributed autonomous food production, so I actually spent the last couple of years going out and building that company (http://boweryfarming.com) (not blockchain based, but traditional VC-backed) :D
I'm hoping this post may help others too that could have a similar situation.
So, here's the facts of where I'm at:
- I have the 2.0 wallet and have it up and running and have access to my wallet
- The last backup I have for my legacy wallet is from 2015 (it seems like there may have potentially been additional transactions since then that are not accounted for in that backup and that I don't have a backup for...)
- After I "lookup balances" in 2.0, when I attempt to "Claim Balance" - I'm able to do so for all my accounts and assets, except for my BTS (I actually get a response that says: "Failed to broadcast the transaction: Missing Authority")
- fwiw, BTS is the only asset in which I have both "unclaimed" and "unclaimed (vesting)" balances
I think what may be going on here is that I may need to sync the blockchain on my 0.9.3 and then export a fresh backup??
Following the migration guide (http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration/):
- ...I do have a new computer now then I had when I was running the BitShare GUI (MacOS) and just downloaded the legacy wallet (0.9.3)
- I have a copy of the full blockchain (thanks to robrigo for helping out there)
And now I don't have any way to sync the blockchain - I believe the problem I'm running into is that I have no BitShares directory folder in: library/application_support
IF that's the case - how would I properly create a new directory folder that I can drop the full chain into and sync?
Any thoughts or guidance here would be much appreciated and if there's another approach I should look into, let me know!

I am in the same boat or close to it. Let me know if you find a solution!

Will do - haven't figured it out yet...

I'm not exactly sure what I did, but it worked and I do have my [fully claimed] balance. I'll attempt to outline the steps below:
- Created a new account that matched the name of the account I was attempting to claim funds from (I'm not exactly sure how / why this made a difference as my dashboards / accounts still appeared the same as before)
- refreshed the browser of my 2.0 wallet (just hit command+R)
- Navigated to "lookup balances"
- I did not select an account in the dropdown menu
- note: I had both 'unclaimed' & 'unclaimed (vesting)' balances showing for the account
- I selected the check box on the left side of the balances
- I pressed the blue 'claim balance (account name)
- It worked. Balance shows at the top of my screen (for me - it was the sum of the 'unclaimed' + 'unclaimed (vesting)' balances)
I really hope that helps some of you out there!
