Quote from: vikram on June 10, 2017, 10:32:07 pm@educatedwarrior Do you still have the original backup made using v0.4.23.1? And to be clear this is a backup JSON you are recovering from and not an existing full wallet directory from that old version? And you are sure you did not make any further transactions after this backup was created so it should contain all your keys (including potential AGS/PTS keys that were never claimed)?I'm looking at some of the old wallet releases and it seems like there might be a separate issue with the format of certain wallet records changing in later versions. These records should have automatically updated when upgrading--but to be safe I'm thinking that for very old backups it might help to:Install v0.4.24.1, import and unlock the backup wallet (you might see a wallet format upgrade message)Upgrade to v0.6.2, open and unlock the same wallet (I don't think this step is necessary but just in case)Upgrade to v0.9.3c, import the final blockchain and do a full rescan following the 2.0 migration instructionsMore information on where the breakdown seems to first occur would also be helpful. For example, you are able to see your expected balance at point X but cannot migrate it to version Y?Edit: @mrbildo Sounds like you are in a similar situation with a very old wallet backup JSON? Do you have an idea of where the breakdown might be occurring when following the above steps?I can see my balance after upgrading to v0.9.3c and doing a full rescan. It's when I import the v0.9.3c wallet export file into bitshares 2.0 my balance doesn't transfer over.

Same problem, where are the devs on this? Clearly this is a huge issue for many of their "Angel" and early adopters. The lack of support here in recovering lost funds is a joke tbh. I feel like I am having to hack my own wallet just to get my own money back, not cool.
no need to be nervous .. your funds are still on the blockchain and as long as you have a backup of your wallet your funds will be accessible again ..
Then I transfered part of BTS to myself (as I was afraid to transfer all funds yet). Outgoing balance was substracted but incoming balance didn't show up, also not after wallet_account_balance.
running 0.4.25 RC1With 0.4.24 I had 1 orphaned address with a balance I couldn't access. With this update I now have 15 orphaned addresses with that balance split among them. I'm not sure whether this update was meant to fix this or not. No worries, just reporting.Thankfully with latest version I am now finally able to see transaction history.

My updates won't make it into the next release (0.4.21), but when the changes are ready we will see if hopefully you can regenerate the proper keys to unlock your funds.v0.4.24 is out (https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases/tag/v0.4.24) which finally has some updates to the wallet key handling and regeneration.kisa and bitmeat if you are still missing funds, try the following steps exactly as I've written them:Make sure you have the wallet or wallet backup of the wallet you originally used for the market orders that you are missing funds from.Open the wallet (or restore the backup) with v0.4.24.Unlock the wallet if you haven't already.Make a new backup of the wallet that we will restore to later.We will now regenerate a large number of keys. This will make the wallet slow afterwards, so after we are done we will restore from the most recent backup.Use the command "wallet_regenerate_keys <account_name> 10500", replacing <account_name> with your relevant account name. This will take some time to generate all those keys and then rescan the blockchain.Check "wallet_account_balance". Does that balance include your missing funds now?Check "wallet_market_order_list". Do you have any orders which you weren't able to access before?If you are able to access any missing funds, it's easiest to just transfer your entire balance back to yourself.Restore the backup we created in step (4) and if you transferred any new funds back to yourself, it should show up as an incoming transaction and you should be able to access those funds now.Let me know if this helps anyone.

Thanks Vikram. Would such issues still be worked on if the merger happens?
Any idea when we might expect the next release?Today I decided to vote with some of what was left of my non-inaccessible funds and now they are gone/missing/inaccessible as well.I'm sure they are there but my client can only make it to about 30% rescan before 'failure scanning transactions' .. so they remain out of my reach.

But I will see if I can add a command in the next version that will allow easily collecting "orphaned" balances like this.Do you remember what exact steps you took with the market order that made the balance go missing?Its hard to say. I didn't notice it until later.My wallet has other issues like the transaction history has not been visible in gui since 0.4.16console 'history xeldal' shows transactions from 07-19 as the first in the list with a negative balance then after 8-09 it skips to 11-14(today) I've definitely made transactions between then and now.the balance shows negative for all transactions incrementing negatively by .5 BTS until I canceled a market order today and the balance increases correctly by the amount canceled.None of the balances are correct for this accounts history.Heres what I remember of the process:I installed 0.4.24 yesterday?this morning? client requested an update. I clicked ok. (it spammed this message about 100 times over night)Closed the client.Clicked the desktop BitSharesX IconIt doesn't see my wallet because it askes me to create a new one(evidently icon is linked to the BitsharesX.exe instead of Bitshares.exe)I re-installed from original download.clicked check for updates (oddly there aren't any)I then immediately go to MARKET and start placing orders, client may have been in the process of doing a rescan or some other process (I don't remember)I place several orders not waiting for 1 to complete before placing the next, and the next (didn't think this would cause issue)I also canceled quite a few orders that mostly filled but had little bits left over (.95 BTS , .54 BTS , .53 BTS etc)Then on returning to MY ACCOUNTS I notice balance is much lower than it should be.I can send you any outputs you might find useful.

Why do I need to transfer them ?
Now if we can increase those amounts 10 folds, for bitmeat only, then we will have a feature preventing dumping....https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10473.msg139126#msg139126

Hi Vikram, just an update - no change yet with wallet_regenerate_keys within 0.4.20
Vikram, I have now version 0.4.20 running. I waited for "synced". I made "wallet_regenerate_keys thirtyeightptswarrior 1000". The result was 2000. Now all the balances are back.I can see Recent Transactions in "Overview" and in "My Accounts". They still show "UNKNOWN" sometimes but it looks like most of the market orders got fixed.When I click on "thirtyeightptswarrior" in "My Accounts", there is nothing in the "Recent Transactions" tab.In the top right corner it shows the alert bell, stating "JSON Parse error: Property name must be a string literal" with the number in red rising to 400 around 5 minutes of using the program. Do you know what this means?Is your name "vikram" on the blockchain?Thank you
Try 2000 .. and run "rescan" manually
lol .. this bugs suck ... can take one weeks to find them .. well done ..@vikram: the market transactions are still using the wallet private key? So the account key alone cannot recover market transactions! If so, is there any chance this can be changed to account keys, or just impossible due to the protocol?
Sounds promising! Appreciate Vikram fixing that, and Xeroc staying on the case. hoping for the resolution of market transactions to uknown and missing BTSX and bitUSD balances with the next release. ☺
The balance shown by wallet_account_balance reflects all the balances on the blockchain that your wallet has keys to. We need to get your missing keys back to get any missing funds. This is what wallet_regenerate_keys is supposed to do, but it is not working for some people: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/issues/712 We are tracking down the issue but unable to reproduce it yet. We are also in the process of rewriting wallet transaction scanning to be more robust, accurate and provide more information. When that is done, it might also help give clues for remembering where funds have gone even if you haven't recovered the keys yet.
Yes, this is expected behavior. Do not delete your wallet! There is more private data that needs to be kept in order to claim all of your balances than just the account private keys. Primarily, you need the wallet master private key, from which you can regenerate pretty much everything if necessary (though this should be done in emergencies only). If you just create a new wallet and import your account keys, you will not get all of your balances. If you've kept your original wallet, you should have everything you need.
any news bro?
