Technical Support / Restore from JSON backup from 2015
« on: February 12, 2017, 07:07:08 am »
Hello,
I have a backup JSON file I created from the Bitshares console in 2015, I tried restoring this file in the Bitshares Web Wallet and I get an error saying "Please use a BTS 1.0 wallet_export_keys file instead".
After researching this issue and reading the migration guide, it's my understanding that I need to install BitShares 0.9.3c and run the backup command through the console.
I downloaded BitShares 0.9.3c from https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares1-core/releases and when I launch the application on my Mac it returns this error "an error occurred while starting the application" and quits.
This is where I'm stuck with an old backup file that I can't convert and import into the new Bitshares Web Wallet.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you
