Need help importing old PTSwallet into 2.0.

[abit]

Ok, I been messing with 9.3c wallet. 

How do I register it, the faucet isn't working?

When I import my keys, nothing shows up.

Also do I need to sync up the blockchain?

Your fund is from AGS, so no need to register in 0.9.3, nor need to sync with 0.9.3.
Just install, import, export (in console), then import to 2.0. I'll try to find a tutorial.

//Update: steps of importing keys to 0.9.3
(via console command below, possible via GUI but I haven't find the tutorial yet):
Create an account in Bitshare 0.x client.
then go to console ( be ready with your private key )
type : importprivkey <your private key> <created account>

The rest steps can be found at: http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/migration/howto-exporting-wallet.html and http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/migration/howto-importing-wallet.html

Public key is  PZKnCeunEfmqFYHk4iFkDwmhGtvGLD39t5

OK. There ARE balances in BitShares 2.0 with this key.

Sorry, I was wrong, it seems current GUI doesn't aware of PTS/BTC keys. You need to import keys to 0.9.3, then export, then import to 2.0.

I moved my really old PTS wallet.dat file into bitshares-pts1.0 wallet, and  all my coins and transactions were there from previous year without syncing.

OK.

I then used the dumpprivatekey command in the console of the 1.0wallet, and pasted those characters in the import keys section of bitshares2.0 wallet.
Nothing happened.

Nothing happened? I remember you said "Found Keys" somewhere.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm not getting anything when I paste either my bitcoin or PTS private keys into the import box.

I pasted it while it was locked and unlocked.  It does say "Found Key" but thats it, nothing to click except the cancel tab.

If it does say "Found Key", there should be a big "import" button below. Click it.

Have you tried with latest BitShares wallet? https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2/releases/latest

Have you created an account in BitShares 2.0 already? (I think I've asked this question once) If not, create one, then try import again.

Can you post an screenshot somewhere? Or maybe ask in Telegram channel: https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=g33416306 or Slack http://slack.bitshares.org/ ?

There nothing under the lookup tab

Just thought of something, both my old wallets had been encrypted but bitshares2.0 doesn't ask for those anywhere?

The result of "dumpprivatekey " command is unencrypted, so BitShares2.0 wallet doesn't need to ask for password etc.

I Know I  I have assets, I can see them when i look up my old PTS public address from AGS donation days.

If you've moved your fund before (in BTS 0.x), there will be no fund remain in the addresses. Balance/transactions in PTS/Bitcoin wallet doesn't always mean balance in BTS client. Can you please paste your public keys here?

@allin: after importing your keys you also need to CLAIM your stake with the "LOOKUP BALANCES" tool!

How do I get my private keys from my AGS donation address?  All I have is the wallet.dat file that was used back then, that computer broke a while ago.

I though you've already done that..

I was able to use dumpprivkey from the console .

after I posted earlier

Yeah, I cant figure out how to register my 9.3c wallet account which is boat11.

Do you know how to export private keys from PTS wallet? If yes, copy the keys, paste them into 2.0 directly, the "import keys" page.

//Update:
If not, check this post first: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=826.0

No need to import to 0.9.3c if you've never imported your PTS keys into BTS.

Try this - http://computriks.com/en/bitcoin-export-private-key

Replace 'bitcoin wallet' with 'PTS .dat wallet'

WOW this is getting a little crazy, I'm not that computer savy here obviously. 

I have an openledger account and bts2.0 . 

So freaking confused, I had an old pts wallet that I donated to Angelshares with. I saved that .dat file.  As everyone in the community said just hold on to that and you would be fine, well its not fine!  I really dont know what to do. My coins are currently on bitshates-pts 1.0 wallet.

How do I pull my private keys out of my PTS .dat file? Is that what you are telling me to do?

I gotta go to work now, i'll try to check on this periodically. Thank you for your help!

Ok I pasted the whole texts and it did say "found key" at the top. But It didn't let me hit enter or anything.  Only button showing is Cancel.

You need to create an account in BTS2.0 first. Otherwise the client won't know where to import you balances to. Or you have no balance in those keys at all (which would happen when you have ever imported the keys to BTS0.x and moved the balances to another account, in this case you need a backup of your BTS 0.x wallet).

//Update: check this:

Check this: http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/migration/howto-importing-wallet.html#web-wallet
Only don't import a "BTS 1.0 key export file", but paste the private key from your AGS donation into the box below.

Still not working.  Just to let you know what I did. I had my really old PTS wallet.dat from when those suckers were like 9$.  I imported that .dat file into the bitshares-pts 1.0 wallet.  Did I royally screw up doing that?

The step is PTS wallet.dat import into bts1 wallet -> export wallet to bts2 file format -> import file to bts2 client.  You do not need to sync bts1 since you have no transactions.

Check out http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/migration/howto-exporting-wallet.html#bitshares-1-0-full-client for details.

I don't know if you must let your 0.9 version sync first, if you do it might take quite a while. I think there was a copy of the updated chain somewhere so you don't have to wait that much?

@xeroc

@puppies I don't know why, I was under the impression you had a copy of the chain somewhere?
