Config file '/root/.blockstack/client.ini': section 'dropbox' is missing 'token'. Write access will be disabled

Hi,

not too sure what’s wrong.
Previously I was using version 0.16

Just downloaded the new version 0.19, removed the ~/.blockstack folder.
But I am getting this error when setting up again.

ok. I just have to restart everything.

  1. remove ~/.blockstack folder
  2. remove all Docker containers and images
  3. start Blockstack anew
  4. remove old Blockstack account

After doing all these, I will be able to start everything anew.

yes, but how can one reimport the old seed?

I just tried again, this time, the account seems to be able to recover by itself even though I have deleted the .blockchain folder. This is the latest version 0.19.0. Previously was trying v0.18.0

Where was the account info stored? How was it recovered?

@skybach The wallet and your identities are stored in your browser’s localStorage. To back them up you need to make sure you have the 12 word Backup Phrase or Keychain Phrase that was generated when you created the account. This can be input when using a new browser for the first time.

We are moving away from having a process running on the host and will be migrating everything to the browser to avoid issues like this in the future.

Glad you were able to get it up and running!
