Title: Wallet "unsynching"?
Post by: rafter on November 09, 2015, 10:30:08 pm
Newbie here. Can anybody help me solve what appears to be a bug with BS .9346 wallet...

I started synching some weeks ago, before 2.0. Using a computer that's a few years old, and process has been extremely, extremely slow.

Finally got from over 30 days down to 13+ days on Saturday. (That was the fastest rate ever.) 

But then it started going the other direction, and at 14+ days, I locked it up and stopped trying.

Trying again today, and it still goes the wrong direction. Appears to be synching, but the "days ago" is increasing not decreasing.

I'll be using 2.0 as soon as this is done. But I can't get my funds out of this wallet until it's all synched, right?

Did this wallet work at one point?  You can export the wallet even if you are not synced.  Just double check your balance when you import to BTS 2.

Not sure what the definition of "work" would be. I've been on a mission to get synched and it's taken weeks. If I can move funds from this wallet before it's all synched up, I guess problem would be solved.

Will it ever synch? Or will it just keep going the wrong direction?

I'll see if I can figure out exporting.

Thanks for your help!

It must be rescanned (console 'rescan'). It doesn't matter if u are synced.

does a rescan start the whole process over from the beginning? i.e. hundreds of days ago?

Since you already have all your funds, you could try to export the keys anyway; then import the .json in the new bitshares2 wallet
Just use the console for exporting

Let me know

Try with wallet_export_keys C:\bitshares093c.json
To write to C:\ it could be needed to run the bitshares client as Administrator.

If you prefer, you can save it on the desktop (or everywhere you want) with wallet_export_keys C:\Users\*yourusername*\Desktop\bitshares093c.json

I think it depends on how many keys you have.
It should not take too much tho.

Are you sure it is not 5.23 MB? Check on file properties.

If you have only 16 keys in the backup, it could be possible that is only 5kb...in the end is just a text file with private/public keys in it (sort of)

You have created a new wallet, imported the keys, and then clicked on "lookup balances" right?
Does it show you something?

Could you try again? Maybe creating another wallet and importing the keys and claiming the balance again.
Are you on chrome/firefox ?

I am going to bed, in the meantime you could follow my instructions to Ermes in this thread, starting from here http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=19944.msg256574.msg#256574

Download the full blockchain.
Replace the chain folder.
Type "rescan 1" (it could take a while, check the progression info)
When the rescan is done, Export keys.
Create a new bitshares2 wallet, import the latest keys, claim balance.
