After I did that, I clicked the blue button add account. I inserted m I inserted my username? I do recognize the picture image that goes along with my username. But my client is saying it is not connected to the internet. I know am I connected to the internet since I'm writing this post but I'm not sure what to do next. I'm happy I made it this far ^_^
To answer your question I got my private before Bitshares 2.0 was launched.
