Title: error importing electrum wallet
Post by: santaclause102 on July 22, 2014, 04:36:42 pm

I was trying to import a electrum wallet. I saved electrums's default_wallet file and was trying to import that.
I got the following message back:

Electrum wallet import at BitShares has a problems, export private key and import it into BitSharesX, it's works for one of my friend.

Hi Testz,

Tried doing the same with a private key from electrum. Says the key imported successfully but my balance remains 0... Does this just take time? The "rescan Blockchain" Box was ticked when i imported the private key.

Cheers!

edit: Can someone Clarify for me? Do AGS entitle you to Bitsharesx up until the july 19 cutoff? or only up to the Feb 28 snapshot?

As I understood the issue you cant import raw keys. It should be converted to WIF file.
Did you convert raw keys to WIF file (wallet import/export file) if not please check this

I have same issue with Armory and I have manage to get my balance.

There are known issues with some of the wallet formats: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/issues/90

You may have to import private keys manually; there may be some guidance at: http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BitShares_X_Solutions#Importing_February_28th_snapshot
