General Discussion / Help Import Old Bitshares Exported Wallet into New Bitshares 2 Light
« on: June 26, 2016, 09:23:02 pm »
I exported my wallet information from old bitshares.  I have downloaded and installed bitshares2-light (without deleting previous....was I supposed to delete previous before installing new version?)

I'm getting "Application initialization issues"

Then, not sure what happened, but it suddenly started working. Not sure what happened.  But now when I follow the directions to import the wallet I exported from the previous version (I could see my balance in the old version so I skipped the step it said I could skip if I saw my balance) I'm having a new problem.  I'm attempting to import the bitshares wallet json via import a BTS 0.9.3C Key Export and it says "Please use a BTS 1.0 Wallet export keys file instead"

Why would it ask me that if the button says to import a BTS 0.9.3C Key Export?

Please help, thanks!

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing or how to proceed.  I'm just simply trying to import the wallet so that I can see my balance in the new version.  The manual you linked me to is not so clear cut.  Please help if you can, thanks

Help Sync Mac Wallet :

Severe Network Problems - Delegated Participation Rate is below 60%
It also says I'm not connected

How do I fix this so I can sync my bitShares?  I'm not sure how to check what version I'm running... 

Thanks in advance

Hello jaredboice,

I assume you are synchronizing with the legacy network Bitshares 0.9.x. We have made a pitchfork last year to use our new technology Graphene.
You can read about the migration in the migration guide:
http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration


Thankyou Xeroc.  Still a bit confused however.  I remember trying to update this stuff last year and don't remember how far I got.  I'd be happy to let you know which version I have but I can't find an "about" anywhere?

I can see my balance, if that helps identify where I might be in this process.  But now I'm wondering what to do.  Am I just to Export my wallet and then uninstall the version I'm using and reinstall some new version, and then re-import my wallet?

Thanks in advance.  I believe in Bitshares and want to keep my client up to date properly

for starters, I'm totally confused on the difference between BitsharesX and Bitshares PTS and Bitshares 2.0.  I see discussion of each in this forum, so naturally that's confusing.

I have a separate thread where I'm trying to figure out how to bounce from BitsharesX to Bitshares (the newer wallet).  But in this thread I'm specifically asking first how I can move my coins from Bitshares PTS to the new wallet which is just named PTS.  I was hoping it would be as simple as swapping the wallet.dat file, but confusingly, instead of a wallet.dat file in the new PTS client, there is a wallet folder inside of which there is no wallet.dat file.

If anyone also can help me migrate from BitsharesX to Bitshares, that would be dandy too

Just download the latest Bitshares client and install it in place of the old BitSharesX client. BitShares is just a rebrand of BitsharesX, not an actual new chain.

Thanks so much.  Quick question though regarding installing Bitshares in place of BitsharesX.  There's an "include" folder with it.  Do I drag the Bithsares Application + the "Include" folder into the Applications folder?  And then I'm assuming (If my coins are showing up in the new wallet) at that point I could delete BitsharesX?  Thanks again

You can safely ignore the 'include' folder. And yes once BitShares runs successfully just delete BitSharesX.


Success with both of them!  Just a note though, I used a different password when starting the new PTS Wallet.  Although when importing my old keys I obviously had to use my old password which worked fine.  I'm assuming everything is dandy now, correct?  I shouldn't have any problems concerning the fact that I goofed when using a new password for the new wallet?  I didn't see any place to change the password.

Thanks a lot.  Hopefully it appears I'm up and running

Thanks.  But before I try that I need to install the new Bitshares first.  My question on that is, do I drag both the Bitshares Wallet + the "Include " folder both into the applications folder together?  I'm not sure what this include folder is for....

Technical Support / Move from Old BitsharesX to new Bitshares Client for Mac
« on: July 11, 2015, 01:05:03 am »
So I was told I can import my old BitsharesX wallet into the new Bitshares wallet.  But I have no idea how to do this.  Are there instructions somewhere?

So I downloaded the new Bitshares client on my mac.  I can see in the dmg that there are two items: the Bitshares Wallet, and an include folder.

(1) Do I drag both the Bitshares Wallet and the Include folder into the Applications Folder?

(2) Do I then use the old wallet folder as a replacement for the new one (assuming its structured the same)?

(3) Is it then safe to delete the old BitsharesX file from the application folder?

Thanks in advance!

"maybe also keep the wallets folder in ~/Library/Application Support/BitShares "

So you mean I should keep everything that is already inside ~/Library/Application Support/BitShares X

but then also create the following folder

~/Library/Application Support/BitShares

and put the wallet.dat file there?

What's the reason for that?  Thanks!

Technical Support / Trying to Update New OSX Wallet
« on: May 09, 2015, 03:57:47 pm »
I'm trying to update the new wallet on mac osx.  When I dragged the new client into the applications folder, instead of replacing the old file it added a new one since they had different file names.

how do I proceed with the installation if they have different names so as to not lose my coins? 

Is the following correct?

1) Backup Existing Wallet
2) Delete the older version of Bitshares that is already installed
3) Install new version with new name (still points to blockchain/wallet in same locations?)

thanks in advance!
