I got this seed from my bitshares-1 wallet I believe. I had it imported in the new online bitshares wallet in Chrome, lately I deleted Chrome from my system but downloaded the new bitshares client.
Via "Advanced" I imported this seed (16 words) (I thought) but my wallet stays zero and default name.  :-[

Hi,

How do I import a seed (mnemonic) into my bitshares light client?
I copy/pasted the mnemonic (brain key?) via the Advanced link but my account doesn't reflect in the client. What went wrong here???

Don't use the "Recover Backup" buttom .. but the "IMPORT KEYS" tool!!!!

This was also a crucial tip  :) I could import the file (no file extension used). Problem solved!!

Many thanks for your help everyone and thanks @fav for the btstip  :) much appreciated!

DON'T use the 'Save' click.  Use the Console and key in the wallet_export_keys command.

Eg

wallet_export_keys /home/cube/myexportedkeys.json

this command returns: "Not Implemented [wallet_export_keys]"

Here are the steps i take:

- https://wallet.bitshares.org/#/advanced/wallet
- I click on the "Wallet" tab
- I click on the Save button (next to "backup wallet")
- I save the code as .json file
- when importing this in https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/wallet/backup/restore => returns invalid format

What file extension should I give? I tried, "nothing", "txt", even "json" but all are an invalid format when I try to import in 2.0

To be clear: when, in the 1.0 wallet I click "Save" I see the contents of the file:

[
    {
        "type": "master_key_record_type",
        "data": {
            "index": -1,
            "encrypted_key": "4dc5d991add48d2165f6f576a
....

Thanks,

but (on Mac) wallet_export_keys doesn't work. The console proposes other commands which also doesn't work ""Instead use: wallet_dump_account_private_key""

wallet_dump_private_key Gebruikers/myusername/Bitshares/keys.json gives an error ""Account 'Gebruikers/myusername/Bitshares/keys.json' was not found".

wallet_export_keys is the right command. Make sure your bts1 wallet is version 0.9.3c.  If mac wallet failed, try linux or MS Windows.

Yes, but it's an online wallet  ??? anyway I have save this wallet on my computer. Can I use this file to import in the Bitshares 2 online wallet? What extension should this file have?
Thx

Hello,

Totally new to Bitshares. Please help!

I have a wallet at https://wallet.bitshares.org which is bts 1.0 and I like to move these bitshares to a 2.0 web wallet, like https://bitshares.org/wallet (or osx client?)

Please tell me how to proceed because it's not clear at all to me. I prefer to have a bullet point list instead of plenty of weblinks  ;)

Many thanks!

until I tried obtaining my gold through a physical gateway, and then the owner of that gateway would then have to try to source the gold which would raise the price as I described above. 

Imagine all investors in "pegged gold" wanted to their gold in physical form, there could be a potential problem then (not enough gold for everyone).

It's really interesting to read all your answers, thank you for that. Meanwhile, I still have to study Bitshares a bit more, I still don't get that "pegged" method. I have understood that it's better to wait for BTS 2.0 and then buy some BitGold.
Another question pops up then: is it best to buy Bitshares now (while they are cheaper) and exchange them for BitGold in the 2.0 client?

Hi,

I recently found Bitshares and the possibility to exchange BTS for Bitgold via the client. Do you think that buying Bitgold is a good alternative for buying physical gold (in terms of value)?

Thanks for the help  ;)

btw, do you think it's wise if I buy BTS (for Bitgold) now other then wait a "bit" for BTS 2.0?

Thanks for sharing. I might test it but I'm not a big fan of online wallets  :o
Can I use the same account both in the offline and online client?

Hi everyone,

What's the reason of this: "Severe network problems | Last block was synced 128d 23h 28m 56s ago" ? I have 10 network connections and at 70%.

Hi guys,
New to bitshares, I see that price is going up. Meanwhile I'm still waiting till the blockchain is downloaded, then I can finally start  :)
