Hi Guys,
Not really a newbie as I have had Bitshares for over 12 months and I'm an active reader of this forum, I am however new to actually participating in the forum.
A brief history... got into Bitcoin at $85 just after Cyprus bail in, then Litecoin at 40c and saw it go way up, then come crashing down! so made lots of money, then lost it all as I am definitely in for the long term.
From there switched over to Peercoin, then decided to go all in the Bitshares X last September and have been following progress closely ever since.
I have Bitshares 2.0 up and running, transferred my balance no problem and everything seems to be working fine. I am impressed with the new software (although I don't really know how to use it at this stage) and I have a very positive outlook on Crypto currency in general, and Bitshares in particular - even though I've seen about $30k slip through my hands
Guys, my question is how do I fund this new wallet?
I am familiar with the setup of wallets and have used a few with various as mentioned above, and it usually works by generating a key within the wallet then sending coins to that key. I realise that I need to go via BTC to get funds which is not a problem (not in US so card not an option), I used BTER to get my initial Bitshares before the whole crash/theft.
However, in Bitshares 2.0 I only have what looks like 2 keys 1 for BTC and 1 for LTC I don't seem to have a Bitshares key?
Could someone walk me through it? Also, if someone doesn't mind maybe they could send me a micro amount to the BTC key, if this is how it does work? then I can see the incoming.
If we do send BTC direct to the wallet, that's a pretty cool feature, but I don't really understand how that works as I thought this was a Bitshares wallet? Or rather is it a 'platform'?
FYI my username is kurtduncan and my BTC key is 1FToFXdMEtWHo2o4CXS8hvnboUAgKerScC
If someone could shed some light on it for me please.
Cheers,
K
