BTS X is Live

[merockstar]

when doing step 1) I open my pts wallet and make a backup. I placed the .dat file on my desktop. I drag the .dat file into the wallet path and it gives me a error "RPC Server Error: In method 'wallet_import_bitcoin': Db::open: Bad address (13) . What am I missing?

does it have "file:///" in front of it?

lose that.

[bytemaster]

It needs the full path to the wallet, not just the file name?

- what do you mean by " link the coins"? -> If you were a holder of PTS.. by the time the DACs appeared.. you were promised some BTS. Then BTSX goes on.. then the app shows up.. how do i use my DAC converted coins. How do I link the keyhotee private key or key founder to BTSX account?
- what was the question then? Specify "multiplication" -> BTer announced... "Notice: We have scaled all users' BTSX funds based on extending the total BTSX from 4 million to 2 billion. Please beware of the market price change." What I wanted to know.. is if this really happened to the chain too (that I am seeing as it happened), when.. and if your old coins.. where multiplied too, or.. at what conversion ratio if not.

Note: I answered the questions in reverse order. So my answer 1 was the answer to your questions 3 and so on. Sorry for the confusion.

So.. I might have applied the wrong words.. I am not a native English person. I am valuing your dedication though.

Clarification above. I hope. Otherwise.. please comment.

For your first question there are two ways:
1) In the Bitshares-x client go to Accounts->Some_Account->Advanced->Import Wallet->Drag your PTS wallet.dat file onto the field or enter the path.  This will import all your private keys and you'll see a bunch of deposits to that account from "GENESIS". NOTE: The passphrase it asks for is the one from your PTS Wallet so that it can decrypt the .dat.


2) Open PTS wallet, unlock wallet.  In the console type dumpprivkey <public_address> and then do as in 1 but on the import key tab.

I am not aware of any plans to use it again. I know I3 wants to honor the account balances of the XTS chain if X has to be reset and not the 28.2 Snapshot.

[sumantso]

Is this one be proto DAC and the snapshot will become useless after this? I ask because otherwise the PTS trapped at Bter and BTC38 on snapshot day will need to be used again.

The windows installer from http://bitshares-x.info/ is the correct one? Can I import my private keys in there?

The link is correct.

Apart from BTS X your PTS on bter and bt38 (of these exchanges offer the same service again) can be used for other snapshots.... Is that what you meant?

No, I meant if the Feb 28 snapshot is ever going to be used again or not. If yes, then we have to bug those exchanges to honour again for all the PTS stuck on Feb 28.

I made (compiled it). Thanks!
Now how do I start the client (webwallet? desktop wallet?)?
System: Ubuntu 14.04

Go to the programs/client/ directory and you should see a binary called bitshares_client or something similar. To make your life easier once you find it type sudo mv bitshares_client /usr/bin/. so it'll be in the path.

Then:
screen bitshares_client to run it.  (sudo apt-get install screen if you don't have it)

Type cntrl-a cntrl-d to put the screen in the background (still running) and screen -r to "resume" your screen session.

Once you're at the Wallet prompt you'll need to create a wallet with wallet_create <name> and then create an account within it.

Once you're all setup type wallet_export to save it out to a .json.  For safety I also quit the client and then went to ~/.BitSharesx/wallets and tar'd the named wallet directory and put it somewhere safe (different machine(s) ).

That sounds like a purely command line version. Is the a gui in linux already?

Not sure, I haven't been able to get the wallet-qt to compile yet. I just built the CLI version for a delegate server.

SOunds more.. like I was guessing.. but thanks.

Does that convert the snapshot amount of PTS.. even if you don't have that amount of PTS since the DAC snapshot?

Yes.  It's not transferring any money.  It's just proving you own what is already in the snapshot.  You are "claiming" existing allocations with your private keys.

Q1: I still dont understand. Do you mean: How do I claim my BTS X?
Q2: I hope I understoof your question right. BTS X was just released there were no coins before. Of course the price changes of the money supply changes but the market cap which matters to you doesnt change. Can't answer it better than that.

Thank you for the initiative.. Bytemaster team.. will know how to answer this.

Q1: Yes. For PTS DACs only.
Q2: There where no coins before.. but you were given the change to apply for DACs by holding PTS. Those investments.. granted you.. some investment conversion.. to BTSX.

- what do you mean by " link the coins"? Do you mean how many BTS X you get per PTS? That I dont know. I would have to search first myself.
- what was the question then? Specify "multiplication"

If you reply can you list it like: Q1, Q2 etc.?
