Title: Wallet export/import compatibility issues?
Post by: bitmeat on August 25, 2014, 03:14:12 am

So if I export a wallet in JSON from Windows, shouldn't I be able to import it in Ubuntu?

Actually I tried to import wallets exported with 0.4.7 to 0.4.7 client and I get this even on Windows...

Can someone tell us what is the most STABLE environment? I am very nervous about keeping my wallet up to date.

I'm getting this:

Code: [Select]

Finished scanning for new transactions.
7 bad_cast_exception: Bad Cast
Invalid cast from type 'string_type' to Object
    {"type":"string_type"}
    th_a  variant.cpp:501 get_object

    th_a  wallet_db.cpp:445 import_from_json

can be fixed by a rescan
...

1) got to console ...
2) type "wallet_resync_blockchain"
3) wait 30-60 minutes
