Subject: | [Ring] Recover User/Backup Ring Profile |
Date: | Mon, 2 Jan 2017 21:22:02 +0000 |
Hello,
I have recently registered a username on the ring blockchain. The computer I did this on has since crashed but I DO have a backup of the following..
/.cache /.config /.local
But when I try to copy these into my new OS, ring will not recognize them and forces me to create a new profile/username.
The 'dring.yml' appears to be encrypted and I'm wondering if that is the issue?? I do have the 'add new device' password, export.gz, and private keys to this account. Is this enough to recover this username??
And another question is.. What is the recommended backup procedure??
I read another post about lost usernames and I imagine a LOT of usernames will indeed be lost, and if ring ever takes off, eventually this username feature will become useless if it is not possible to recover, backup, and/or recycle expired usernames.
I also want to say thank you to the Ring team. I absolutely love the idea behind this software and really appreciate how much effort you guys are putting into it. I feel if Ring can get a fair shake that it could be to modern communication what the telephone was when it was invented.
Thanks, Brett
