I had the same issue with "PTS to BitShares claiming".
Even if you do everything by the tutorials, the BitShares client is not too helpful.
I never got my head around the account/wallet combination needed for a successful claim.
In the end, I got help from fluxer who helpfully guided via Skype and screensharing for a finder's fee.
Are you already at the point where you can successfully import a "0.9.3c key export file" with the current BitShares client?

I just had a Skype call with fluxer555 aka Julien.
He was a true gentleman and my personal hero of the day.
With his help, I could claim my old ProtoShares in BitShares.
Highly recommended service, well worth it!

Thanks again!

Hi all,

In a nutshell: I had 3 PTS and cannot claim Bitshares now.

I feel a bit silly because I am probably missing only one simple thing.
But I have been stuck for days now.
Any pointers in the right direction would be really appreciated.

I read many threads on here and posts elsewhere, but to no avail.
I tried the guide by luther-05.

What I did:

• export keys via 0.9.3c (Windows, so command line option it is)
• created new 2.0 account with current client
• imported the 0.9.3c json key file into a local wallet: 4 keys found, balance of unclaimed assets shown in preview

What does not work:

• the import did not directly show the option to claim as I saw in other screenshots
• the local wallet "Lookup Balances" button says "no unclaimed balances found"
• attempting a new import says "this wallet has already been imported"

So far, it was always an option of "either account or local wallet". Importing makes me switch to a local wallet.
If there is my fundamental error, please let me know. The thread linked does not give more details as how to link account/wallet.

Thanks for listening!
