Technical Support / Re: Transfer ownership of account
« on: April 21, 2017, 02:51:21 pm »Correct ... the new owner provides a pubkey (e.g. from paperwallet.bitshares.eu) and you add him as secondary pubkey to owner.
Then the new owner needs to prove he owns the private key to it when removing the old (your) key from the owner permission.
Thanks!
I just tested this in my wallet only, and with my limited understanding it appears that I will able to accomplish this without even involving the other person. Please let me know if this is correct.
From the account I wish to transfer ownership (acccountA) to someone else (accountB) I entered accountB name on the Owner Permissions tab and set weight to 100%, then clicked ADD and published changes.
I saw nothing come up on accountB (new owner) at this time, outside of a notification that accountA had updated the account.
But in accountA's Owner Permissions tab I could REMOVE accountA's key from the account and publish changes.
This shows accountB (new owner) only under permissions (for accountA) now with 100% weight.
Which leaves me with a few questions because I'm doing this within one wallet and I'm assuming things may work a little different when I do this with someone outside of my own wallet.
1. Did I in fact transfer ownership without having the pub key of accountB (new owner) by simply using their account name and removing accountA's key from owner permissions?
2. Do they need to do anything? From within my wallet, I see nothing accountB can do at this point, but I assume it is now the new owner of accountA, but I see no way to verify this which is likely due to this all being done within a single wallet(?).
