We've had this nice thread: Payment business: comparison between Bitshares and it's competitors.
Does anyone remember a forum thread offering a similar comparison but regrading the exchange business?
Was it a comparison of DEX vs. centralized exchanges?
an account has lots parts
account name
account password
account back up
account brain key
which bits are need to fully restore a account?
My understanding is that we have the two recovery methods:
1. Wallet backup + wallet password. The surest way to recover everything including unclaimed balances (and in the future probably stealth balance addresses/history)
2. Brain key. The brain key alone should be enough to recover the wallet and the accounts created within it. Unclaimed balances will need to be re-imported. Also, I'm not sure if it will recover keys that were imported manually.
Could someone clarify what the brain keys recover (or don't)?
Do the wallets continue to use deterministic keys, and is that how multiple accounts are recovered?
fake edit: .. ok, I tried importing my brain key into a new wallet (New Wallet > Custom brainkey) but nothing showed up. Wasn't there was a separate "Import Brainkey" feature somewhere?
