Title: BitShare 0.9.2 to BitShares2-light wallet
Post by: gigamike on April 02, 2016, 12:18:27 am: Hi,

can i transfer my wallet from BitShare 0.9.2 to BitShares2-light wallet ? I tried export wallet from my BitShare 0.9.2 and it generates BitShares Wallet Backup.json file, on BitShares2-light wallet i tried Existing Account Restore Backup but it prompts invalid format. I saw also key import tool but what is PASTE PRIVATE KEYS (WALLET IMPORT FORMAT - WIF)?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

You have to upgrade to 0.9.3c first, which has a way to export the wallet in a format that's compatible with the BitShares2 import function.

This is for claiming balances with individual keys. If you know which of the keys in your wallet hold balances you can dump the corresponding private keys and paste them into this field for claiming the balance.

I would say you just didn't click on "lookup balances"
