When I try and import my exported backup wallet (on a usb drive), I get the error. "Failed to restore wallet backup. Your original wallet has been restored. Error: Bad Cast (7) Invalid cast from type 'string_type' to Object.

This is on a windows 8, running 0.4.5. It should be known that I tried to import this wallet into the same computer (after having fully un-installed Bitsharex), after reinstalling Bitsharex. How to proceed? Thanks


I even tried to import this wallet backup on a separate computer (mac), and I got the same error.

I have found the problem and backup creation on Windows will be fixed in 0.4.8.

To recover your existing backup, open the backup file in a text editor like Notepad and scroll all the way to the end. There is an extra comma at the end of the file; the last two lines will look like this:
},
]

Delete that comma and save the file, and let us know if you can successfully import after doing this.

Any exchange that is brought on board -- make sure they subscribe to the BTSX update announcement thread: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=7067.msg94189#msg94189

This is still beta quality software and it is extremely important exchanges know about all updates ASAP.

0.4.5 and 0.4.6 are affected by this bug. Users should upgrade to 0.4.7 and restore any missing transactions by running:
rescan 274524
When 0.4.8 is released, it will restore these transactions automatically.

Users who did not keep their wallet synced before upgrading to 0.4.5+ may need to do a full rescan (warning: this could take a long time) to restore previous missing transactions:
rescan


I know this has been asked before but I can't find it. What flag do I need to add so that I don't build the test cases?

make bitshares_toolkit

I am trying to import my wallet.dat into BitsharesX and getting this error:

"Failed to restore wallet backup. Your original wallet has been restored. Error: Bad Cast (7) Invalid cast from null_type to Array"

any clues? How do I proceed from here?

BitShares does not use wallet.dat files. If you are trying to import bitcoin/PTS private keys into BitShares, use the wallet_import_bitcoin command.

The website seems to be on a minority fork.

New version 0.4.5 should fix the DLL issue: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=7248.msg96732#msg96732

I found my latest transaction was displayed as 501 while it should be something much larger.
It's same for GUI and console "wallet_account_transaction_history".
When I dig deeper into the transaction details, I found that the transaction has 2 withdraw operations. The reported amount 501 is of the last withdraw operation. Now I want to know what amount the receiver will see. I guess it should be fine as there's always 1 deposit operation in the transaction.
For those who have the same issue, I think it's only an issue from sender side and receiver will still see the correct amount.
But it's really annoying to see the incorrect amount in the first glance.
Can someone have a check and fix it in 0.4.5? Thanks.

I am looking into this but unable to reproduce the problem yet. It would be very helpful if you could PM me the transaction ID for the transaction that is showing wrong.
