Thanks

Currently for blockchain.info wallets, you must manually export your private keys and then import them into BTSX using the wallet_import_private_key command.

To export your private keys, you must go to the advanced tab in your blockchain.info wallet, then click export unencrypted, then choose Bitcoin-Qt format, then copy the appropriate private key and paste it into the BTSX wallet with the wallet_import_private_key command.

Someone else will be able to explain this better than me. We will get import tutorials up as soon as possible: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/issues/541

It may also be possible to import your blockchain.info backup wallet file into multibit, export your multibit wallet file, then import into BTSX using wallet_import_multibit; but this is untested.

 The export/import worked.
