You're killing me man. All that expensive RAM wasted on a 32bit Windows... As you can see it can only use below 4 GB.

You need to upgrade to 64bit (you can do this within the same license).

System requirements for Bitshares should list 64bit system, since the program is essentially unusable with 4GB of RAM anyway.

Thanks for the input. The RAM is not wasted. I have lots of hard drives using this computers hardware some of them make better use of it.


Hard drives have nothing to do with it. Unless you're talking about some type of virtualized environment, you're NOT using that RAM. Nothing in your system is able to address the space above 4GB. The extra 12 GB are just sitting there dormant.

I dont know why you are so interested in my system, but, the hard drives have different operating systems on. I take one hard drive out and put another in. Its for security i have different systems that use the same hardware.

do i understand this right: with a 4gb workingspace ram laptop you cant run bitshares client ?

becouse i try now for weeks to get my wallet runnning
win 7
4 gb
a 120 free harddrive space

and i get lots of errors
now with the new upgrade to 0.9.0
the error is severe network problems

till 0.6. version it worked good
and now i am out ?

and no i dont want to use a webclient
i am into crypto becouse i dont want to depend on trust to a third party with money

I have a laptop with a Celeron @2.16 a bit less than 4GB of usable RAM(3,86GB I think) and a SSD
I uninstalled the 0.8.1 version and then installed the 0.9.0

The only issue I had it was that at the first log in, my memory usage soon became 99%, I restarted the program and everything works ok now. I think that vikram in a post said that for the time being we should restart the program when it finishes replaying the database and BEFORE we log in for the first time in order to avoid any memory issues.

I don't believe your problems are related to hardware, you could give it one more try by deleting the bitshares appdata folder(DO NOT delete the WALLET folder) but I believe you already tried that.

Have you tried bitshares_client? (Command line client)
The wallet name is "default" and password is your password.

i am not technical could you give step by step instruction?

Go Program Files\Bitshares\bin
You can find bitshares_client.exe. Run that.
You'll see command line screen. Wallet automatically start re-indexing.
After indexing, you will see wallet(closed)
Type "getinfo" then you can check head block number
Wait about 5 hours
Type "exit"
Run Bitshares wallet (GUI)

Thanks Clayop very much appreciated, i have done that. I will report back after its downloaded.

With the web wallet - can i access my bitshares from any account?

mines ok now, I killed it, restarted and left it logging in for 10mins.
Must've been doing something in the background without anything on interface.


It needs to do a DB and Wallet upgrade which can take some time.

To see if that's the case (for those that are still stuck) open up your task manager and have a look at the CPU and memory BitShares Client is using up. If it's above 30% CPU and 3GB Ram it's working away...regardless of what the interface says or doesn't say.

If you want to do a complete reset you'd need to delete the data directory too. On Windows it's in the %AppData%/BitShares directory. Make sure to save your wallets directory or have a backup that is known to be good.

On OSX I believe the data directory is ~/Software/Library/BitShares but I could be mistaken.

On Linux it is ~/.BitShares

Thanks for your help Riverhead

I saved my wallet file.

Deleted the bitshares directory.

Re installed bitshares and re inserted my wallet directory

Again doesn't load with my password. This time after entering my password it appears to load for a few seconds then stops. The same thing happens if i put anything in as password.
 
I have entered the correct password and left it running. CPU usage is between 5% and 22% RAM is 912,486

Any more advice appreciated

by morning it had crashed, error report sent

I can not easily upgrade to 64 bit as i have lots of information to transfer.

Can one of the devs confirm that this can only run with 64 bit?

I had this problem but as soon as I re-imported my wallet, everything was fine.

Would you mind explaining the process in more detail? Thanks greatly!

I would recommend you to use bitshares_client first for syncing purpose. It's more informative, and efficient.
Location is programfiles/bitshares/bin/bitshares_client.exe
