wallet_export_keys keys.json

and then try for the import again...
I am not sure this file is supposed to be imported back into BitShares 0.9


I mean export from 0.9.3c (via console)
and then import to graphene

@fuzzy: you should find all automatic backups in the folder %APPDATA%\Roaming\BitShares\wallets\.backups\default  ... note the dot in front of backups .. try a newer backup

Can you guys tell me how this works?  I have various backups taken at various dates, some of which have different passwords.  I have all these passwords stored as well...just in case, but I am not sure if I need them all. 

I got it working, though because I used my secret weapon---(thanks @riverhead).  Now I just have to wait for syncing.

#2
is it an export from 0.9.3c ?
On which wallet you make the import?


PS try to make the export again from the console (not the menu)

wallet_export_keys keys.json

and then try for the import again...

For some reason my backup will not open.  It also had this same problem on many of the prior releases. 

The information I get back is:

Quote
"Failed to restore wallet backup.  Your original wallet has been restored. Error: invalid password (20001)
Invalid Password!

If you are sure that your password and backup file are correct, please post a support request here:.....(these forums)"

I have tried every single password I have used more than once (I have them all written down so it is not a mistake) and I know that the backup is the correct one...so I guess now I'm here. 

Anyone able to give me some insight?
