Title: Moving BTS to Bitshares 2.0 wallet
Post by: arp on November 11, 2015, 07:41:01 pm

Hello,

Totally new to Bitshares. Please help!

I have a wallet at https://wallet.bitshares.org which is bts 1.0 and I like to move these bitshares to a 2.0 web wallet, like https://bitshares.org/wallet (or osx client?)

Please tell me how to proceed because it's not clear at all to me. I prefer to have a bullet point list instead of plenty of weblinks ;)

Many thanks!

Thanks,

but (on Mac) wallet_export_keys doesn't work. The console proposes other commands which also doesn't work ""Instead use: wallet_dump_account_private_key""

wallet_dump_private_key Gebruikers/myusername/Bitshares/keys.json gives an error ""Account 'Gebruikers/myusername/Bitshares/keys.json' was not found".

wallet_export_keys is the right command. Make sure your bts1 wallet is version 0.9.3c. If mac wallet failed, try linux or MS Windows.

What file extension should I give? I tried, "nothing", "txt", even "json" but all are an invalid format when I try to import in 2.0

To be clear: when, in the 1.0 wallet I click "Save" I see the contents of the file:

Code: [Select]

[
    {
        "type": "master_key_record_type",
        "data": {
            "index": -1,
            "encrypted_key": "4dc5d991add48d2165f6f576a
....

I exported and imported from the webwallet without problems, so can you please write down the steps you do to export & import?

DON'T use the 'Save' click. Use the Console and key in the wallet_export_keys command.

Eg

wallet_export_keys /home/cube/myexportedkeys.json

Eg

wallet_export_keys /home/cube/myexportedkeys.json

this command returns: "Not Implemented [wallet_export_keys]"

Here are the steps i take:

- https://wallet.bitshares.org/#/advanced/wallet
- I click on the "Wallet" tab
- I click on the Save button (next to "backup wallet")
- I save the code as .json file
- when importing this in https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/wallet/backup/restore => returns invalid format
