BitShares-PTS 1.0 Release (2.18.2014)

[megadeth92]

Just compiled wallet on archlinux!

I met a problem when using new BitShares-PTS 1.0 wallet. I install the new wallet and copy wallet.dat to new folder then run it. The new wallet run and sync all block normally. But when I open wallet second time it said 'error loading block database. Do you want to rebuild the block database now'. I click ok and then it appeared 'assertion failed file:db/version_set.cc line:751 expression:dummy_version_.next_==&dummy_versions_'. I try to reinstall wallet but still the same.

My system is win7 32bit, previous wallet is V0.8.5 and it works fine.

I had that too, I had to delete the blockchain (SAVE YOUR WALLET!) and download it again. It's fine now. I'm on Ubuntu 13.10.

Do current users of the older Protoshares QT wallet need to update to this newer wallet before the end of the month to gain access to Bitshares? I tried to update but the new client is unstable for me.

No, you can keep using ProtoShares QT, BitShares-PTS it's an only new version of ProtoShares client.
Which problems do you have with BitShares-PTS? Crashes, not sync?

I get this issue, it then closes the wallet. Any suggestions?

I will check it and reply you here.

I test BitShares-PTS in Windows 8 x64, its works without any problems.
Looks like you familiar with wallet files and to save time, move/copy ProtoShares files to BitShares-PTS folder. Please try to delete these files and sync wallet from scratch. After this everything should work fine.
Please don't forget to backup wallet.dat file before any changes!!!

Let's us know about results.

OK, I deleted the folders in the >Roaming>Bitshares-PTS folders (i.e. those named database, chainstate, blocks), and then it loads just fine. Thanks, seems just fine now, fully synced.

I get this too but in my case I decided to do a fresh install on a separate machine, importing my dat file. I starts up fine and syncs, but when I close the app and re-open it, the error re-appears.

I installed on Win7 x64, copied over the wallet.dat from the %appdata%\ProtoShares folder to the new %appdata%\BitShares-PTS folder. It downloaded the full blockchain and everything appears to be in working order.

Seem to be much faster when launching, I think my old version only every had 1 red bar on the connection status, I now have 3 right away.

I wrote a quick set of instructions for OS X users to help them migrate from the old Protoshares client to the new Bitshares-PTS wallet. Hope this helps people.

If I were you I might include a tip to show hidden files using the terminal. The library location you mention is typically hidden under default settings.

Great tutorial! Thanks for helping the masses

I installed the Windows version with Wine.

When I go here: /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/BitShares-PTS, I can see:
bitshares-ptsd.exe  BitShares-PTS.exe  and uninstall.exe

My question is, where do I have to copy the wallet file?

Edit: In case I want to build it, could someone post the lines for the terminal please?
(I already build the PTSMiner so I guess I have all dependencies)

Run BitShares-PTS.exe its will create folder under /.wine/drive_c/users/<yourname>/Application Data with new wallet.dat
Close BitShares-PTS
Override wallet.dat with your wallet.dat
Please don't forget to backup wallet.dat file before any changes!!!
