Title: PTS wallet directory
Post by: BTCjesus on August 05, 2014, 06:56:10 pm

I'm trying to register my BTSX wallet by importing my PTS wallet directory. Whenever I go to import my PTS wallet into my BTSX wallet via the import wallet tab the wallet path indicates that there is no such file or directory. I must be using the wrong directory. Can anyone show me how to pinpoint my PTS wallet directory so I can import it into my BTSX wallet. Im using windows 8.

Thank you!

%AppData%/Bitshares-pts/wallet.dat

That didn't help. Still says the same thing. I encrypted my wallet, it seems like I cant un-encrypt either.

Locate the wallet.dat with the file explorer first then copy paste that path into Bitshares x wallet. It works, that's how I loaded my private keys with win 8.1

I typed in wallet.dat but no serach results came back. Any other way to find this wallet.dat file?

Also, how can I find the correct multi bit wallet directory?

If you used Windows Explorer and it didn't find wallet.dat, I would assume it doesn't exist, but perhaps Windows Explorer does not search your whole user directory.

Do you still have the original Bitcoin wallet software installed ?

Ok, resolved.  Some of Riverhead's posts from about a year ago really walked me thru the process. Thanks!
