RE: How to transfer Bitshares off of Bittrex
What do you know about backing wallet up? I saved the .bin file...is it supposed to look like a bunch of gibberish when I open it? I'm just assuming that, should I ever need to restore my wallet, that the .bin file contains what is needed, even though I do not understand it.
The backup wallet is encrypted with your password. It is normal that you are not able to read it. To restore your wallet, you need the Wallet file and your password. Go to "Create New Account", select "Use the Wallet Model" and then "Restore Wallet From Backup".
Thanks! Got my Bitshares on my Bitshare exchange now, woo hoo!
