Nop .. passphrase is just ENCRYPTING a random priv key. ..

you no have a backup?
what happend to the bitsharesX folder in appdata?

I am not sure where the app data went to so i might be screwed but isn't there a way to import a wallet if you know the passphrase and have the address

When I re-installed the client a while ago, I found it just installed a second copy of the software, rather than upgrading it.

So you might find you have 2 versions of the software installed - one pointed at the old wallet, and one pointed at the new.

ahh .. explains it ..

go to "%APPDATA%/Roaming"

you will find a folder "BitShares X" which contains your OLD wallet
and a "BitShares" folder .. that one contains the 'new' wallets ..
rename the "BitShares" folder to something else .. better not delete it .. for safety ..

then rename "BitShares X" to "BitShares" and start up the client again .. it should start with reindexing the database ..
give him some time for reindex and resync ... MAKE A BACKUP afterwards too !!!

Can you got to console and type blockchain_is_synced?

thankyou for the info so it should just be that i need to rescan the blockchain ? or something I think it is doing that right now says transaction scanning progress 9%

sorry bts... not btsx... i dont think it says bitshares x when you open it either just bitshares

it didn't ask me to in fact there is not a synchronizing thing anywhere on the main screen It looks just like the wallet i used to have just unregistered and 0.00 btsx

Did you have to download the blockchain again?

I had the latest version of bitshares x but recently i upgraded to something that has no x in the title It asked me to create a new password so i used my old one and my old account name and now i have 0 btsx again ;... k so seriously this happens like every time i upgrade and i dont know the commands to import my wallets so it is distressing to say the least I have the passphrase to the wallet but currently i am out 5000 btsx  please someone help!!!
