If the above is correct and I get the same error message, what should I try after that? Is there anything else or is it at this point I need Xeroc?
I think you could try to install an older version of the bitshares client and see if you can import the wallet there
I got the same error message.
Looking in the wallets folder, a new default folder was created.....there was nothing in it and nothing in the default-DoNotUse folder.
I'm sorry about this cube, thank you so much for your time. Would there be any point in uninstalling 0.9.3 and running an older version of the Windows client....one that will accept the backup file?
The default folder is the wallet folder. Rename it to 'default-DoNotUse' and when you start up the client, it will create a new empty 'default folder' (an empty wallet). With an empty 'default' wallet, hopefully you can restore the backup. bts0.9.3 is compatible with bts0.9.1 wallet. There is no need to uninstall it and install an older version.
This may turn out to be a tedious process. Another easier approach you may consider is using the full professional wallet recovery service from xeroc.
Good lord, your website is beautiful. Hope you get more people to invest.
Though about doing a round of podcast to get the word out?
they are no longer there....so I need to import the backup. Am I doing it correctly using import wallet?
as long as i have the backup.json are my keys and funds safe?
Yes, they are. Do the import then.
very good....whatever the configuration, we do need well understood, supported, documented and easily repeatable processesI'm in favor of not having any one standardized way to fund new features.
By standardizing I mean that we have to formalize the process how share-UIAs are created and used.
So far one of the biggest problems for Bitshares has been that many wonderful features lack both technical documentation and newbie-friendly explanations how things actually work.
I do not want that we will repeat the mistake once again. So what we have to do?
We have to design the share-UIA so that it can be used in many ways. There is no need to limit it to be only "20 % forever" or similar. Let it have broad variation of parameters that are set when it is created.
There should be only one share-UIA – I suppose it is the best way, because then we don't need to be hardforking and designing new kinds of UIAs all the time and the blockchain will stay simple. That one UIA just has to be versatile enough.
We have to document with sufficient detail every parameter, so that everybody knows that they are there and what they can be used for.
We have to also explain what this funding model is good for and what it is not. People need to have enough information about the system so they can evaluate their business plans themselves without flooding our forum with stupid questions.
We are going to the uncharted lands. If we want others to follow us, we need to draw some maps for them. So far not enough people have been following us, thanks to lacking documentation. They just don't know where the hell we are going and what there is. That's why I created this thread. I want us to discuss this new system so thoroughly that we can explain it to others and they will become as enthusiastic as we are. They have to see the possibilities we see. They have to be able to fully use every possibility that our system presents for them.
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)?

Synereo are showing a keen interest in BitShares and Xeroc has been offering technical advice....
Dor Konforty recently asked what would be required in order to integrate BitShares functionality into the Synereo application/built in wallet. In case Xeroc is too swamped at the moment, is there anyone else who can offer this technical advice?
Thank you.
What we need is a way to store a private key (or a brain key so that we can derive the private key) .. and the ability to connect to a bts witness/full node ..
everything else can be communicated via websocket connection ..
easiest way to integrate would be to integrate the current Javascript implementation of the wallet ..
I don't know which language is used in Synereo .. but we have wallet implementations in Javascript and C++ ..
