Title: Migrating to new bitshares client
Post by: mindstyle on December 08, 2015, 12:40:51 pm

Hello!

My last version of bitshares was 0.4.16 or so (around september, october 2014). I have made a backup which is restorable to this version of client, but when I try to do it in the newest it says wrong file format.

Which version should I download and make a backup for the file to be valid in the newest version?

thank you!

Ok so I loaded the 0.9.3c client and imported the wallet there. All fine (except my balance is empty, but i see my transaction and the last one was to self, so I guess its because of the upgrades that I dont see my balance).

Now I made the wallet backup in this version and went on to import it in the 2.0 version (the link where it says import from 0.9.3c, but when i did it, it just left me with a message to import from v 1.0 rather)?

Now im a little bit confused about all this, because in that manual it says importing from 0.9.3c should work?
