Title: Where is the "receiving" address in the 2.0 Linux light client?
Post by: n00bkid on October 17, 2015, 07:04:00 pm: I just downloaded the new 2.0 software onto my Ubuntu machine. I've never used Bitshares, so I wanted to explore the wallet and its offerings.

But I seem to be missing the most rudimentary part: where's the receiving address? Or is that not even how Bitshares works? In the "deposit/withdraw" section, I see two addresses, but they're Bitcoin and Litecoin addresses, connected to an exchange site or something.

Help, thanks.

Thanks for your help. This is my first day in the forums. Was motivated to join after watching that Bitshares P2P Tour video yesterday. The vid gave me a vibe I haven't felt since the earlier days of Bitcoin -- a vibe which has dwindled in that community.

Done :-).

Sending BTS from my phone is ridiculously easy with the open ledger web wallet.

Post by: n00bkid on October 17, 2015, 07:44:38 pm: Well, I thought that was my account name, anyway. I just visited bitsharesblocks.com/accounts to check if there was a balance there, but it says username "boldly.going" does not exist.

Additionally, I just tried to open my Linux light client, too (which worked yesterday), and get this error: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=867fcef (screenshot of my software)

Any suggestions? I"ll restart my computer now in case that's the trick. Thanks.

bitsharesblocks still shows the old 1.0 blockchain!
your account exists https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/account/boldly.going

as far as the error goes....just close the light wallet and open it again

Post by: phillyguy on October 17, 2015, 07:56:15 pm: Boldly.going definitely showed up as an account when I sent you a few BTS. Your screenshot doesn't look like an error btw.. You can't click on dashboard in top left of the client?

Post by: n00bkid on October 17, 2015, 08:28:41 pm: You are right, all is well. The computer restart apparently took care of whatever problem I was having.

Thanks for the welcome gift and cheers to you.
