Title: Importing Old Bisthares Wallet Backup into 2.0 [SOLVED]
Post by: 8-bit on December 17, 2015, 08:33:29 pm

I just downloaded the bitshares 2.0 light onto my pc.

I have a made a few backups on the old bitshares wallet a few months ago. How does one import the .json file into the new wallet. I get invalid format when browsing to my .json file using the 2.0 wallet

thanks

You have to create the backup on bitshares 0.9.3c through the console.
See here: http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration/howto-exporting-wallet.html#using-the-console
