I did not register "micah" on July 23 so perhaps that is the problem?- It was closer to November 23. When I could never get it to show up under my accounts that is when I "created a new account" with micah118 and that would have been around the 5th of December like you state.
When I originally requested you guys to fund it so I could open it, I also tried to transfer some bitshares (from Bter) so that would have been to the "micah" account. I did it with the account key. I only did it once and not very many shares. I have downloaded bitshares on my desktop and another laptop can only get "micah118" to show up on one of them under my accounts but it is still not funded even though someone on the forum states that they did and I funded it with the new faucet site.
So you have micah118 showing up on one of your computers. That's good. For now, plan to have different accounts on different computers. I hate to recommend this, but as long as Bitshares is a young technology you'll be better off if you don't try to access a single account from two different computers. This is because of Bitshares' TITAN privacy stuff; it currently makes it very awkward to transition a wallet from one computer to another.
On the computer where "micah118" shows up, it shows up in your list of "my accounts," right?
Unfortunately the account name "micah" is taken; it looks like someone squatted it when BitsharesX first launched back in July. So that's a shame, but at least you got micah118. You withdrew from Bter to "micah..." I wonder who controls that account? It might be that some forum member does, in which case it's remotely possible that you can get the funds back.
Ok, right now, the BitShares network is in complete disarray (because of a bug in the latest wallet version) so I'm not going to try to send you new funds until the issues have been resolved. Sit tight, and as soon as the network gets sorted, I'll send you some test funds to the micah118 account.
