Unable to import DAO Wallet into MIST with or without GUI

[mruepp]

Node type: geth/eth OS: osx Network type: main/test Mist version: 0.7.4

OK, here´s a new issue: What I actually did was I copied the json which was revealed as text (when one clicked on the Download Button after selected "create new eth wallet" on the DAO Website into a txt file and named it presale-wallet.json. Because i never had the option to download the wallet as a file. This is what happens when I manually import the Presales Wallet from DAO:

This looks quite interesting. @bas-vk? Perhaps related? https://github.com/ethereum/mist/issues/714

[frozeman]

@Gustav-Simonsson @fjl any idea?

[bas-vk]

I will take a look at it tomorrow.

The used presale wallet is invalid. Geth tries to decrypt the pre-sale key and makes an assumption that one mandatory field (the seed) actually contains 16 bytes of data. In this case it does not.

@mruepp, since this issue was reported month's ago is it still an issue?

[mruepp]

No actually bot. By copying into keystore folder it always worked. But not by importing it with the import menu
