Title: Will I lose bitshares?
Post by: SP4RK7 on November 30, 2013, 11:29:00 pm

Hi,

I was just wondering as I have locked myself out of my protoshares wallet and am so far am unable to find a solution, does this also mean that any bit shares or shares in any other DACS I would have been entitled too will also be lost? or will they be in a different wallet?

As I understand it the shares will be issued to the wallet address they reside in at the time of the chain fork, so they'd still be stuck in the same address (which you import from your protocoin wallet).

Some members have talked about recovery services being offered to brute force wallets you've forgotten the phrase for, but I think the fees are quite high!

Thanks,

That's a shame I was hoping they would be in a different wallet.

I've emailed the guy who deals with the wallet recovery about an hour ago, I think he charges 20% of the wallet, which I agree is expensive, but I think as a last resort it is going to be the best way to go especially with the price that PTS have hit over the last couple of days.

It's not a mistake I will be making again in a hurry lol

When you claim your bitshares, you will point your bitshare client at the PTS wallet.
I'm not sure if this will require your  pass phrase.

What you could do is what for PTS and BTS to increase heavily in value. Then negotiate a lower percentage deal with someone with brute force service.
