RE: Investigating the Top 50 Cryptocurrencies, Part 1/50: BitShares

in #bitshares7 years ago

Hey Matt, maybe you can think of a way to solve my dilemma. I have quite a few bucks in Bitshares sitting in my Bittrex account. I opened up a Bitshares wallet 8 days ago and tried to transfer the funds. All the protocols were quite easy to follow. Bittrex came back with an invalid withdrawal code. e-mail communication with them enlightened me to something along the lines of my new Bitshares address isn't verified by the blockchain. Now, ​how the !#% do you do that if you can't deposit into the wallet? I tried again today ( a week ltr and still no go).....
i'm kind of old school and don't want to keep opening endless accounts.
Any suggestions? Any chance you could put a Bitshare into my account if you have a Bitshare wallet? I'll send you back 10 times the amount if this is easy for you to do.....
My Bitshare wallet address is:
andr-wm-rkm-s-c

Thanks in advance and no pro if this is a no can do on your end.

Sort:  

The account is coming up for me as "unknown account" - are you positive that's the right username?


I just searched and it doesn't look like that account was created, I would give it another shot.

Okay, maybe you have to put a number in the account name but even so, ​the Bitshares wallet says the account is verified. In the wallet, ​it says you can open another account. Do you think that is the way to go about doing it? Thanks, ​guys!

Have you tried creating another account with the same username? I don't think your exists because I can't search it. You can try using openledger or the downloaded bitshares client to make an account aswell

It seems the first account I tried to open is some kind of phantom account. Damn! Anyway, deleted off my computer. The link you provided is linking my account to the blockchain now. The dummy account didn't do that. Hopefully, this works!
Thanks!

Sorry to bother you guys! More details. I'm using a Mac and there was a warning not to. Trying to sync anyway. About 2-hours so far. I can see the blocks counting upward. They are not stuck. I remember going to this page previously but then went to the other one.
When I signed up for the previous one it didn't generate a password which I thought was odd. And then it automatically 'synced' and said I was good to go! We now know that was some kind of phantom page. Weird....The wallet looks exactly like this one. Who knows! Tough being a Luddite​ these days:D

Are you sure you didn't get phished? I was given a password as soon as I created my account.

I'm not sure of anything, matt! I know the first one was a dmg download. It all worked quite well other than the weirdness of having to write my own password.
On this try, from trexicons link there is no download, sign up right from the browser, and this morning it is still trying to link to the blockchain. I assume that that is not right and something is wrong. Apologies for bothering you with this.

Hey, matt, maybe do me one more solid before I give up on this: link what you think is the sign-up for a Bitshares wallet page and I'll try from there one last time. Cheers!
