I downloaded the GUI-less .tar by mistake. Couldn't get a UI, and finally ran it in a terminal before I realized what was wrong. Might want to make that a little clearer.  :P

I am experiencing a nasty bug. It affected me also on 0.4.27.

What kind of processor do you have and how many gigabyte ram?

win8.1, 16Gb, 3.3Hhz, i3-3220

I guess that's a bit slow. Its using 30% CPU while syncing.

0.5.0 wallet seems to be taking a little longer than expected to sync - its thinking hard: "last block was synced 25d... ago"
- ? any tips, its been an hour so far, just wandering if I need to try anything else at this stage or should I leave it running for longer.
- should I reset the peer list perhaps?

I had 4.7.2 and it had been working ok.  I ran 5.0 and it gave me that prompt about resetting the database.  Not sure if I didn't exit cleanly last time or what, but I ignored the reset request.  So it quit out ...  Now when I restart it I get the splash screen with reindexing at bottom, it dies and gives a dialog that says 10001.

Is the angular stuff all minified and closure compiled? That would help

The user experience is still a little jarring.  The program feels "heavy" to use because of all the resource usage. I don't think it's necessarily bad, as long as it's stable.

It gives the program an air of mystery, like "what's it doing in there?".

I'm assuming that there is no way to cut down on resource usage? If it can be done, it should, because currently it represents a barrier to entry for users who are running their lives on the lean side so to speak.  Bitshares should be inclusive to people of all economic standing in my opinion.

but, what is it doing with all that memory and cpu?

bitshares_client runs for 20 minutes and will then crash (not enough ram). The good thing is that with this version, the blocks will start downloading from the point where it crashed. I didn*t built the GUI this time. Waiting for new computer or mobile wallet. Thanks anyway developers for all your work.

It would be great on major updates that we have visual updates too...
Better design on client, easier to navigate etc... because the average user things that nothing has changed...

@cass did some awesome work on a new client interface .. issue is developer time .. most devs have to focus on other things atm ..
stability is more important imho

I can't trade bitGOLD for bitUSD. There are insufficient feeds...?

you need to wait for the next hardfork #1575500 (approximately 2015-01-20 16:30 UTC)
