Title: Importing Protoshares wallet into BitSharesX on Mac
Post by: URSAY on September 30, 2014, 06:49:29 pm

I've tried, File/Import Wallet but BitSharesX doesn't want to import the Protoshares file or wallet.dat.  The Protoshares files and Open button remain greyed out.

Should I be exporting the private keys from the old wallet and importing them into BitSharesX thru, My Accounts/User name/Keys/Import Keys from Wallet?

The answer is YES.  This area of the wallet was able to see the wallet.dat and import it successfully!  WOOP WOOP.

Hu?! To me that sounds like a bug .. sure you cannot click it though?

That you can always do .. depending on the number of keys you need to import it can take some time ..
