Title: "failed to restore from backup"
Post by: CLains on February 15, 2016, 02:58:41 pm

Hey guys. I am trying to revive an old account that's stored as an old .json from 2014. I am 99% sure I have the right password, and that this is the same bug as others have been having with incompatible versions. Anyone having gone through this have any advice? I don't have any alternative backups, as that laptop died long ago, just this one .json file.

It's well known issue, restore this backup at BitShares 0.4.27.2 (https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-0.x/releases/tag/bts%2F0.4.27.2) then upgrade to 0.9.3c and export keys.
