Import PTS wallet from a year ago

[pc]

No I did not have the before february 28. But I should receive some BTS (merger VOTE/DNS) because I had PTS during the november 5 snapshot?
I've read somewhere I am entitled to (amount of PTS @ november 5 x 567) BTS.

The BTS from the merger don't show up in your regular balance yet. You can check your shares by entering the command wallet_check_sharedrop in the console. You have to divide the displayed numbers by 100000 to get the BTS amount.

Also, the factor is much lower than 567, more like 45 or so. There's a thread somewhere in the forum that lists what you have to expect.

Hi

No problem for the delay :-)
I am running the OSX version so I can't manually delete and re-download the blockchain?

You can.
I don't have access to an osx machine at the moment. If I had to guess I'd say the folders chain and peers.leveldb are at:

Code: [Select]

~/Library/Application Support/BitShares
So navigate there, and delete only chain and peers.leveldb.
To be on the safe side, you could make a copy of the entire BitShares folder on your desktop before deleting anything.
Then just re-launch the client.

Just did it.
I took an awful long time before the client restarted so I guess the block chain was re-downloaded.
The balance remained the same.
I once again imported the wallet key successfully, but nothing changes :-(((

Are you sure you had pts before february 28?

can you type getinfo in the console and post here the info?

This is really weird

I'm starting to think this is a bug introduced in some recent update.

Who in the forum might have an confirmation on this?
This kind of a big issue, right? :-)

[Bitty]

Sorry guys, between work and finals at uni. I just can't find the time to log into the forum and reply.

If you can't run --blockchain-resync , then you'll have to manually delete the blockchain and re-download.
On windows the blocks are found at:

Code: [Select]

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\BitShares\
(change Username to your own username)
Delete the folders:

• chain

• peers.leveldb

And re-launch.

DO NOT DELETE THE wallets FOLDER

@ arubi
thank you for your time!
hopefully we find the solution
there is nothing we want but becoming part of the BTS community

Somewhat disappointed that no other community members are helping newbies….

Can you share what is your solution?

Hi

I still haven't found a solution myself.
Maybe we should start another thread in the forum?

--resync-blockchain is a flag.
It's used as an option when calling the Bitshares executable.

For example, on linux:

Code: [Select]

./bitshares_client --resync-blockchain
Also, 0.4.27.1 is not the latest release:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases

I have read the release note of 0.4.27.2 and it said there is no hot fix except some GUI changes.
I am using windows, so after I manually type the command you instructed, I was stuck there, have no idea what to do.

I have been following this thread for a few days and going through all the steps. I am also having the same issue.
