Technical Support / Re: BTS sent to BTSX address... can I get access to them, or are they lost?
« on: January 13, 2015, 11:58:40 pm »
Just as I posted that the issue resolved its self:  I don't think it's because I did this, but I ran the command "wallet_get_account_public_address" in the client, and it then updated to the balance including from the old address.

The transaction is still not listed in my client, so it's a bit strange, but I do have the balance, which is the most important thing.

Thanks to all who replied to help with this.  I still don't understand this, but I'm glad it's sorted!

If you have the private key then you should have access to the funds. The wallet scans every balance in the blockchain and checks if you have the key for it. Are you sure you are looking at the right address? If you want, you can PM me the withdrawal transaction ID from Bter and I can take a look.

I've sent you a PM - thanks for your help.

The new address with the dropped "X" should function exactly the same.

If you do "wallet_dump_private_key BTSX6..." with the old address (or maybe you have to delete the X), is your wallet able to find the private key?

Yeah, I'm able to get the private key, but unfortunately it's exactly the same with the old & new address, so importing it to the new client has no effect & doesn't allow the funds to be accessed.

Strange, and very annoying to have private keys but no access to funds!

Edit: I wonder if I could somehow work out how to do a manual transaction without the client, as if I have the old address & private key, I should be able to send funds from the old address to the new one?

Or would this not work, as the old address is no longer recognised by the blockchain for new transactions?

Though you can still use everything as usual .. either you use the "*_depricated" commands in the CLI or you just remove the "X" after BTS ..

Thanks.  Do you have any link to the 'deprecated' commands, as I searched the documentation & couldn't find them.

My issue is that a transaction was sent to the old address with the X in the prefix, and wonder how to get the balance of this transaction into the new address without the X.  Is this what the deprecated commands can do, by getting my client to accept transactions to the previous address?

With an up to date client I've been able to sync, but my situation is a bit strange.

After importing my old wallet to the new client, the client changed the address by 1 letter, which I didn't realise before withdrawing funds to my old address, which it seems is not not accessible any more due to the fork, so it seems I may have lost the funds.

I have more details on this thread: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=13170.0

If you're able to help it'd be much appreciated!

I've had difficulty trying to sync,   it's said "Catching Up processed 881233 of 930393"  for several days now

I'm having this same issue now, and also stuck at 881233.

Did you resolve this issue in the end?

Thanks for the replies.

My addresses pre and post merger are the same I believe so yours should to

The addresses should be the same.

My address is different before and after, but only that the 4th letter (X) is dropped.

Address before: BTSX6...................etc
Address in new client: BTS6.............etc

So is it not normal that the address has dropped the 'X'?  Should the old address still function with funds appearing in the new address?

My new client is fully synced, and the withdrawn BTS haven't appeared - just the old balance I had before buying the new BTS.

Thanks again for the help, and I hope I can get this figured out!

Technical Support / BTS sent to BTSX address... can I get access to them, or are they lost?
« on: January 11, 2015, 07:43:32 pm »
I recently bought some BTS on BTER, to top up a few I bought previously.

When withdrawing, I saw that BTER had remembered my address, so knowing I had the keys went ahead with the withdrawal.

I was still running the BitsharesX client, as apparently it was up to date (no new update available it told me, and still does!).

It won't download the blockchain properly, and when I run the new client, it shows my old BTSX now as BTS, but doesn't show the new BTS I withdrew to the same address, but with BTSX instead of BTS at the front.

Is there any way of accessing these BTS that I've sent to my BTSX address?

Thanks for any help!
