Importing my private keys (dumped in the previous version) gives the error: Invalid private key (code -5).
Did you backup ur wallet b4 u installed the new client? Or are u saying u just tried to use the private keys from V1 in the V2 wallet?
found a way to circumnavigate the situation, not that difficult. so no facepalm - if anyone encounters the same issue (or trying to use wallet.dat backup from V1 into V2), have fun and good luck!
i have backup of the wallet.dat and the private keys.
but yes - i tried to use/import the private keys from V1 (v8.0.5) into the V2 (or v8.4.2).
wait...are you going to share with us the details of what happened, and how you solved the problem? You can't just leave us hanging with a 'good luck'
Ask facepalm dude! Just kidding.
Basically I just installed the previous ESPERS client (V1 or v8.0.5) and I can see my Espers again. What I found out is that thw wallet.dat from the V1 is not compatible (cannot be used) with the newer Espers client (V2 v8.4.2). And also importing your prviate keys generating from V1 are now accepted in the V2.
And the new Espers client will also create a separate directory in your %appdata% (for windows).
Maybe Dev has to put some instructions somewhere.
And dev - was the client only meant after the swap has been made?
Was you able to covert your ESP1 to ESP2 just from importing your ESP1 privatekey?
If it possible, i would like to try that too..
