Technical Support / Re: Trying to import WIF from BTC->AGS crowdsale
« on: June 10, 2017, 04:56:35 pm »
I figured this out finally. I imported both PTS that I mined and AGS crowdsale.
First I followed these steps to import the PTS wallet.dat.
https://www.reddit.com/r/BitShares/comments/3wg3no/how_can_i_convert_protoshares_pts_client_v085_to/
Then I used the Bitshares 0.9.3 GUI to import the WIF key of the BTC wallet from above that had funded the AGS crowdsale.
Then, don't use the GUI to export the wallet as json! You have to use the Bitshares 0.9.3 CLI and wallet_export_keys command.
Then open the Bitshares 2 web wallet. Follow these instructions roughly:
http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration/howto-importing-wallet.html#web-wallet
After importing the Bitshares 0.9.3 exported json, you'll have to reload the wallet or the next steps won't work.
Once the keys are imported and browser tab reloaded, to claim balances you must select the account in the dropdown, even if there is only one account.
If you get an error when submitting the transaction claiming balances, just try it again.
Hope this helps someone. I would add that this process is not at all intuitive and you will need a measure of patience to keep trying. If patience is not your thing, you can pm fluxer555 who has helped many people migrate their previous funds to the Bitshares 2 wallet.
