Want everyone to know I finally managed to get access to my accounts today.. I will be posting a full step by step tonight... I could not use openledger in the end though.
curious how many keys you had to import. I've 55000 and I have yet to get my balances to show in the light wallet. I started this import attempt at 8:35am this morning at block 57050 and still nothing now 6 hours later at block 64250. This shouldn't just be a problem I'm having as there must be others with large numbers of keys.
I'm dumb... just actually looked at above posts...
so I'm curious to see what it took for you.
This article tells how to import large wallets:
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2/wiki/Import%20BitShares-0.9.3c%20wallets%20into%20BitShares%202.0%20CLI%20wallet
It was linked to right from the release docs here:
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2/releases
Unfortunately it requires a user to be savvy enough to compile the CLI wallet OR use windows CLI tools.
I wish I had time to go step by step but its going on 3am now and I need some sleep.. ug.. not enough time in a day.
In addition to what BM shared there is something else you need to do, you need to setup a cronjob that will delete files every minute, or have a MASSIVE hard drive to handle all the backup files that will be generated. My import generated well over 1TB in backup files being created, which filled my drive until I figured out that the filling up was happening at a rate of approximately 4GB per minute.
So follow the instructions BM gives, but then setup something like this in your Ubuntu 14.04 CLI:
crontab -e
Select 2
* * * * * rm -rf /ubuntu_user/bitshares-2/programs/cli_wallet/before-import-key-*
crtl-x
then proceed to import the accounts as the instructions provide.
You need a full node setup to do this, and there is some information available on how to do that here:

There is something confusing me a bit though.. and maybe someone can clarify for me.
I managed to get one account out of my wallet to import into openledger and I was able to claim my balances from open ledger.. but now in my wallet on my full node I have that same account that imported successfully. I am able to view the same account both on my full node as well as on openledger. Even my recent activity on my full node showed up on openledger.. I know there is no backup yet for full node wallet.. but can accounts exist like this in multiple places in the network or is there something bad that can happen? Or could running accounts like this cause network issues?
