After upgrading to 2.0, I decided to test the variable collateral. So I opened one of my usd-collateral-holder accounts and reduced my leverage on one to free up some collateral. Then I attempted to transfer the freed up collateral to another account, but when I click on transfer and type in that account to the FROM field, it says Not your account. Is there any way to claim it?

You mention needing to sync in the event that there have been transactions since the last time you synced. Is this actually necessary? It's my understanding that 2.0 will have all of the accounts and balances properly based upon the 1.0 chain. Personally, I haven't been able to get either the Mac or the PC wallet to fully sync in over 2 months.

So here is my question. Can I just download the 0.9.3c wallet and perform the export on OSX without a successful sync? It appears that all my accounts are there, but the transactions will likely never catch up due to Network Congestion (whatever that means).

Thanks for asking the question and thanks for the answer!

I'd love that too. 

I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for this. It addresses one of the most pressing shortcomings of BTS (watching the blockchain rebuild itself).

I really think the most useful derivative of this would be building an ionic/cordova app that uses BitUSD as the underpinnings. This would bring bitUSD to the masses pretty quickly. I could help with front end and UX if anyone else has the backend chops.

Here is what I did:

Made a backup of my wallet from the GUI and saved it on my desktop just for safety. I also backed up the BitShares X directory to the desktop (that's the first command). The code below moves the wallet directory one dir up. Then we delete the entire contents of the BitShares X dir. Then we move the wallet file back into the BitShares X directory. The backslashes are there to deal with spaces in the directory names for unix.

cp -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BitShares\ X/ ~/Desktop/
mv -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BitShares\ X/wallet ../
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BitShares\ X/*
mv -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/wallet ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitshares\ X/wallet

Cheers!
