Title: Backup from a private key
Post by: Coucou on January 15, 2017, 05:43:56 pm

Hello everyone  :)

I have a BTS private key like this (54 letters/digits):
BTSabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMN

How to import it to my BitShares account ? I've found nothing on the forum about this.

Thanks!

Private keys start with a "5"!!! not with "BTS"!

Thank you Chris4210 for showing me the obvious: I did'nt realize there was a menu to choose the way the key is stored (I feel stupid!)

Thank you xeroc: I realized this was a public key thanks to you
