At last a positive and easy to understand presentation about Bitshares and CCEDK. It's human readable and people might actually want to learn more about what magic Bitshares could do but without wanting to no anything about what goes on under the hood.

:D ;D :D

A quick afterthought is that the CoinCard is very expensive so it kills the idea of good value for the unbanked. For the kind of charges that should apply have a look at REVOLUT. Yes, it's a bank etc etc but look at the fees...0% 0% and interbank rates.  :o

 :D I was delighted to find some really positive posts on Steemit encouraging folk to invest in BTS. Encouragement also to use the Lite wallet for security.
I've been following Bitshares for years. Constantly undervalued.Clearly you want to attract new users and investments. You are quite right to claim high status for your technology. You are probably all too bright for your own good.
So, after the Steemit post, just for fun, I imagined myself to be new to the obscurities of Bitshares and downloaded the Lite 2.0 wallet.... Install on Win10.... Had to close the install window...... Blank screen.. ??? ...Checked installed programs...ah yes, there it is.... Launched.... Greeted by "app init issues, API conn, some sort of drop down menu with equally unintelligible items" etc etc.  ???
Seriously, when are you going to get it? You know what it's all about but newcomers don't.
I also tried the Moonstone effort. Oh dear. ::)
Even Barclays bank can come up with Revolut. Then there's WB21. Yes, we know about centralised and security risks  etc but they are giving people stuff that works straight out of the box and beats the hell out the rest.
So shoot me down if you want but I think BTS is too much about tech, assets, trading and changing the world. Steemit proves that if you come up with something that ordinary non tech people want, it will take off even with initial flaws. End frustrated rant.  :(

Gotta be a pattern there somewhere.

 :D :D :D Thank you Fav. I appreciate your taking the time to post that.
Yes,with that command the file appeared immediately.The command you gave is complete and correct. It worked perfectly. You spelled it out and all a dimwit  like me had to do was to enter my name where you had \xxx\ and press enter.
I'm not nitpicking but some folks struggle with making files visible so as to find the appdata/roaming folder so as to...... etc etc.
Maybe someone could provide a dimwit no brainer menu option in desktop 0.9.3 to store backup wallet for migration to a default folder?
Meantime, mine are now stored safely. Thanks for the help  ;D

My machine is set to show hidden files and folders. Search comes up empty. Files not in C:\ and not in roaming either. I still can't figure why. Did I input wrong commands? Interesting to find out .  :)

Yes that's the guide I used. Still no files.  :o definitely more stupid than you.  :)

OK. Thanks. I'm stupid.  :P
To someone who uses wallets but never has to go to console, yes, it is harder and entering that "one line" is difficult.  I don't mind a challenge. I spent over a year trying to get 0.9.2 to work and never gave up. Of course  I got comments like "it works fine for me" which implied that I was the only one on the planet experiencing problems with it.  But maybe you're right, no need to do anything. It's obviously so easy already so just ignore people like me ie non-tech people who are enthusiastic about BTS and want to participate and support as much as possible.
Also, I entered the "one line" (actually a couple of different lines are offered in the guides) but can't find the files? How is that possible , it all being so easy I mean?
A humble request from a non-tech. I don't want to have to learn DOS commands just so as to protect my wallet files for migration to the future of banking. We should be beyond that stage. I hope BTS will get mass adoption sooner rather than later.  :D

I guess I'm wanting to make the point that, at this stage in the development of wallets, it should be exceptional/optional  for anyone to use the console. It seems to be an unnecessary hurdle, however easy it really is for folks familiar with commands. Thanks.

I finally abandoned efforts to get 0.9.2 to work and tried 0.9.3 which works perfectly. I now have 0.9.3c running. I want to prepare to migrate wallet to 2.0 so

desktop win7 64bit ver 0.9.3c
chain and transactions fully up to date.
select:        account....advanced.....console.....
type:           wallet_export_keys C:\default.json   enter    returns     OK
type:           wallet_export_keys C:\name.json       enter   returns     OK
type:           wallet_export_keys json.name              enter   returns    OK
Look for files in C:\program files\bitshares                     not there
Look for files in .......appdata\roaming\bitshares           not there

Where are the files? Have I missed out a command or step?

Why not have 0.9.3d with menu option to export keys for migration to (select folder) ? Even basic commands are going to be a step too far for people who don't use console. Just a suggestion. Or you can wait for all the people to turn up asking how to use console. Confusion, lost wallets etc etc.  :)

The web wallet is excellent. Easy and fast. Still beta so no guarantees however,
I have a couple of accounts on 0.9.3 that I want to keep. Can I import them to web wallet? Can't see how.
If I later migrate to 2.0, can I import my accounts with current account names?
Thanks.  :D

Unlike 0.9.2, could we have a wallet that works in Windows???. This caveman has wallets for 23 different coins and they all work except that cursed BTS 0.9.2. Just spent a day again trying to get the thing to simply load the chain and stay working.
So, before the worries about the gui, all valid, can we make sure the bloody thing actually works.  >:(
This caveman is a persistent bugger but 0.9.2 really stretches my willingness to keep trying to get into BTS. I think most cavemen will have been put off by now.

I've lost quite a bit over the years with the various emanations of this project. I stick with it. Maybe I have no right to comment but I want to ask one thing. Please, please don't release the new wallet if it is anything like that sad 0.9.2 and it's predecessors. If anything is designed to put people off it's something like that hideous front window. Please only release when it works and keeps working. OK many will flare up at my impudence but someone has to keep it flagged.

Well, 6 months down the road and the wallet is as bad as ever. I gave up on it last time and moved all my BTSX to an exchange in frustration and desperation. Yesterday I gave 0.9.2 another try. I'm still trying 24 hourslater. Read Frank's post at the top of this thread to see what I am experiencing.
I learned about the Moonstone wallet and donated. It looks very good but sadly, it seems the target needed for MIT will not be reached. Very little takeup in what could be a killer wallet. Very sad.
Holding BTSX feels like kissing a frog over and over but no prince. Please do something to get the wallet up to speed. Even BTC on qt feels fast compared to this thing.
Patiently waiting, holding and kissing. ;)

Thanks.
I installed 0.5.3 and it accepted the import and the password so I do, in fact, have a viable backup and the correct password.
The newly installed 0.5.3 refused to connect so I can't go for the simple workaround of updating. Stuck again. >:(
