Thanks clayop.. your brackets on the other post hinted the answer. Xeroc don't worry your instructions are really good.

Another problem, now when I try to start the witness, I get a decimal parse error for --witness-id "1.6.5155"

parse_error_exception: Parse Error
Can't parse a number with two decimal places
    {}
    th_a  json.cpp:277 number_from_stream

    {"str":"1.6.5155"}
    th_a  json.cpp:478 from_string
rethrow
    {}
    th_a  witness.cpp:88 plugin_initialize

I have tried to configure the witness-id in the config.ini but I get this warning:

Any thoughts ?

And I also solved it :

The syntax is

Code Select Expand

import_balance betax [5....] true

It is expecting an array as it says in the error doh!

That's the problem what I experienced.

And I also solved it :

The syntax is

import_balance betax [5....] true

It is expecting an array as it says in the error doh!

I have to be very silly but I am also stuck on the :


7 bad_cast_exception: Bad Cast
Invalid cast from string_type to Array
    {"type":"string_type"}
    th_a  variant.cpp:530 get_array


I am using the wif of the balance,  using the output documented in the wiki:


Each of these balances can be investigated via:
BitShares0.9: >>> blockchain_get_balance BTSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
....
"asset_id": 0,                                     <- asset_id (0: BTS)
"data": {
  "owner": "BTSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWNER", <- address
      ...
  "balance": 0,                                        <- balance
  ...
The required part (the owner of the balance) is denoted as owner. Pick one or more address for BTS balances and dump the corresponding private key(s) with:

BitShares0.9: >>> wallet_dump_private_key BTSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWNER
"5......." # the <balance wif key>



edit: english code -> english

Great! I'm in!  +5%

The import process described in the how-to is a stop-gap measure.  We have already done significant work to make that easier.

At the end of the day it will be as easy as:

1. export BTS 1 wallet
2. import into BTS 2

I finally set up the first testnet delegate :D Server location is Asia, using google computing service.

@xeroc
I'm stuck in importing my balance keys. The error is
7 bad_cast_exception: Bad Cast
Invalid cast from string_type to Array
    {"type":"string_type"}
    th_a  variant.cpp:530 get_array

Can you help me?


Edit: I found it. [balance wif key]

Beautifully done.

Setting up another VPN (as same as my current VPS) now. Hopefully I can successfully settle my testnet delegate there :)
