RE: Bitshares GUI release 2.0.170327
Hmm. When will there be created a recovery function so that I can get access to my BTS account fyrstikken-com?
The old damn UI sent me the wrong .bin file and pulled my leg. When I called Ronnie B. He asked me if I was James?
(GRRRRR!) I did everything the GUI told me to do, and now every time I hear the word "BitShares" a feeling of failure goes through my body.
So how can you all witnesses and developers help me and other lifetime members in the same situation?
I'm interested to see how your situation is handled. The question of proving identity has implications for everybody. Rooting for you to get your account back into your control.
Hmmm. Then I should be in a unique first position then, since my account is extremely publicly.
There are no plans to add a recovery account although it might be interesting to do so. There's no dominant stakeholder like Steemit in Bitshares however, so it poses the question of who will be the default recovery agent. In theory it could be a multi-sig account of committee members for example, but at this point we've not even discussed adding this feature.
The GUI can't send you the wrong .bin file, but perhaps you've backed up the wrong wallet? It might also have been a case of the wallet not being able to generate the correct keys from your brainkey. I recently discovered an issue where the index used by the wallet was being incremented even when an account creation failed, so what happened was that when you finally managed to create an account, the index for those keys would be very high, and on restoration the wallet failed to recover those keys. If you still have your wallet I suggest attempting to restore it again.
Hmmm.
May I encourage strongly to create such a plan.
Once there is such a feature - and a committee that can judge in cases like mine and grant new keys. That will be a step in the right direction for Bitshares liquidity-problem.
I have been in 1000+ Coins but never have I ever had a problem like with Bitshares. If it cannot be fixed - then it is broken, and there is no hope for Bitshares to ever attract mountains of liquidity to the "decentralised" exchange.
We are far past that, fuzzy and a small army of BTS-Experts has already investigated my case and came out with 10 problems and 0 solutions.
Or who knows, maybe someone wants to forward me 1.1 Million BTS and the PeerPlays that came with it and make me whole again?
I still recommend you try, it'll only cost you a few minutes at worst. Noone knows this GUI better than me and I can't remember ever being consulted about this issue. If you try to restore your wallet again I can try to diagnose any errors you encounter.
As I said, it has already been done by an army of BTS Experts, CLI-Wallet, Back-End, Brute Force. As you said upstairs about the wrong .BIN files is true. Nodes were down that day and well - end of story is that I am locked out of my fyrstikken-com account. No matter how much diagnostics you do, you will not find the fyrstikken-com account in my .bin wallet. It simply does no longer exist, it never sent me the right .bin file and my master-password is good for nothing.
I am saying this, because it would be a waste of your time, but if you insist - I be happy to send you the .bin file and the master password.

Extremely Public Case!
Alright so your case is exactly like what I explained, you failed to create an account because the faucet was out of funds, which caused the wallet to increment the brain key index. As long as you used that same browser when you finally managed to create the account I'm pretty sure I can recover that account.
Send me your .bin and password to bitsharesblocks@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do.
thanks @svk, I sent you an email with everything. I have no problems with my case being a public case to study and to find a bitshares solution for.
