Title: wallet.dat file from protoshares qt Help
Post by: Number 1 on January 18, 2015, 03:02:07 pm
Hi, my brother purchased a modest amount of protoshares way back on their initial release.
He hasnt been involved since but has his wallet.dat file from the original protshares client.

He had his PTS in his wallet before the initial snapshot where they have remained since however the old client has been replaced with the name changes and DPOS fork etc.

Please help me advise him.

how should he best claim:
1. His BTSX or BTS
2. His PTS or New PTS
3. Play or other Dacs

Thank-you for you help.

1. Import wallet.dat into BTS client: http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BitShares/Howto#Attempting_a_wallet_import_to_receive_BTSX_from_February_28th_snapshot
2. Import wallet.dat into PTS-DPOS client (see http://pts.cubeconnex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Import_Keys_from_Wallet ). Or use the slightly more complicated wallet_import_by_signedmsg (http://pts.cubeconnex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Secure_Asset_Import) command.
3. Wait until launched, then import wallet.dat into Play (or other) client. For better security use import by signed message if available.

So what were the ratio of Bitshares for PTS on the feb 28th snapshot?

Is there a play client already released and what other DACS would old protoshares holder benefit from.
I have been out of the loop for some time.
Thanks in advance.

1PTS=1.28*500 = 640 BTS
If I remembered correctly
