Title: Dug my 4 year old laptop up and powered it up..I have some Protoshares...
Post by: yoyomonkey on May 08, 2017, 10:26:02 pm
Hello many moons ago i bought a bunch of protoshares and completely forgot about the wallet on my old laptop.

I have just dug this laptop up and found the old PTS wallet.

I remember when i first got them is that they could be exchanged for Bitshares and other stock when they became available.

I was wondering if there is any guide or recommendations as to what i can exchange them for or can i use them to claim different stocks? I have 100 PTS which is probably nothing at all but i thought I better do something with them.

Any advice or links for a noob would be greatly appreciated. I have searched for articles in regards to pasting the PTS wallet into the client to claim those assets but i was wondering if there is anything else i can do or should i just wait?

Many thanks in advance for your time and help

100 is a lot if it was snapshotted, and you didn't already import the key. that might be something around 10,000 - 20,000 BTS

Wow thanks . You mentioned "if it was snapshotted" what does that mean exactly? Can anyone explain or point me in the direction that I can find out more?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

it means u had the PTS in your wallet before /during when the snapshot was taken, I believe sometime around April 2014. Hopefully someone helps you its not exactly a trivial process.

Thanks for explaining it ag2.

I had these shares on my client from the beginning so I hope it should be ok . When i started up the laptop just now the old client  it showed 100 PTS  but it could not connect  which is to be expected.

But thanks for your advice and time ag2.  I will look into this more and see if i can get these Bitshares etc .. Please PM me your BTS account ag2 and if anything come from this and I get some BTS I will send some over as a thank you for your time and advice.
