Hello all, I need some serious help. I updated to the new Bitshare PTS wallet, and I lost EVERYTHING.
I replaced the wallet on mac OS, as it said that this simply changed the name. What was not said was that this replaced and destroyed your entire directory.
I lost 15.8 PTS. Here is my previous address:
PrD8Prp82YU3KDysoxfZ1pvbnbmERR6y1w
and it changed to
Pw9RDLAjSHEDvYCuZUg92KaWS5fLUMvcde
What can I do? Why was a warning not posted by bytemaster about this? I feel very anxious, especially at this crucial time.
EDIT: Okay, so for whatever reason, the protoshare wallet app reappeared after I had replaced it with my bitshare wallet app. Even though I could no longer find the app data folder for protoshare in the hidden folder for my library, from the protoshare app, I was able to make a backup of my wallet and load it into the Bitshare wallet.
Don't scare me like that next time. :D If you want serious investors in the long-term future, you will have to keep the technology idiot friendly.

You never backed up your wallet, even you are updating your wallet? I thought that's common sense for bitcoin player. I am afraid you have lost all your pts unless you can recover the data of you hard disk. It''s worth a try, before the disk is overwritten too many times.

How do I do this???? Please help me

your coins are probably NOT lost ... read throug the anoincment thread of bitsharesPTS in this board .. solution is in there

Great, I got it.
It seems that your new wallet.dat is in user/Library/Application Support/BitShares-PTS/
So you can find your old wallet.dat from user/AppData/roaming/protoshares, and then replace the new wallet.dat
You are lucky this time but you'd better back up your wallet ASAP.

I am VERY lucky. I am glad you figured out a solution to the problem from the way I managed to fix it. Of course, I am backing up everything from now on.
