Title: account and access to it
Post by: mea123 on December 07, 2016, 01:50:19 pm


I wonder in worse case scenario, the OL web page goes down, for whatever reason
I assume I would not be able to get to my investments anymore
This would be like my Bank closes down and I am out of luck and money

Any helpful answer would be appreciated?

Simple solution, get your backup ready and import it into
https://secure.freedomledger.com
Done. Got all your money 'back' :)

Well this looks to be the solution..thanks a lot

If I do what the link opend says I should do, will this influence my original account with OL in any way?

"Since this is your first account, a faucet will pay the registration fee for you" who is the "FAUCET"
sorry but I do not understand the term used in this regard

The ol account is on the bitshares blockchain. You access the same account just by using a different webpage.

Dont create a new account. Instead go to the settings and import your backup

You can also download the client, import your backup, and access Bitshares from your own computer: https://bitshares.org/  ;)
