[puppies]

Like a moron I updated before bed
And after a 14 hour work day.   Missed  50 blocks overnight before I caught it.

all working fine on the backup delegate .. gonna update my main machine now ... +5%

[Riverhead]

Here is what I did.  Instructions are brief because I assume you've been through the compile once.

1) Change into the github bitsharesx cloned repository you made for 0.2.4

git pull origin
git checkout 0.3.0 (or 0.3.1 for a delegate)
git submodule init
git submodule update
./setnev.sh (not sure if this is required but it doesn't break anything)
cmake .
make

Make sure your bitsharesx is not running (either the GUI or the CLI). This is also particular to my setup.

sudo mv /usr/bin/bitshares_client /usr/bin/bitshares_client.0.2.4

change to the program/client directory

sudo cp bitshares_client /usr/bin/.

Are you also building the gui?  If so then from your github bitsharesx directory:

cmake -DINCLUDE_QT_WALLET=ON
make buildweb
make BitSharesX

The do the same routine to get BitsharesX into the /usr/bin directory.

You need to do

Code Select Expand

make buildweb
first before you build qt_wallet,

or you can just disable qt_wallet by

-DINCLUDE_QT_WALLET=OFF

This is a good suggestion, don't upgrade for now. 0.3.1 for delegates is coming in several minutes

Please publish 0.3.1 Windows installer.

for windows user, I think 0.3.1 is the same with 0.3.0

0.3.0 has a problems for delegates, i'm interesting for Windows 0.3.1 to run it as delegate.

Dac Sun may release an updated Windows GUI, but be aware that we currently do not test or support running a delegate outside the Linux command line interface.

Keep up the good work guys!  +5%

[Riverhead]

Updated.  Great work!

Update your signature too.

Done, thank you.

I suggest don't update to this version,
seems _in_sync is not correct
delegate will missed block

If somebody missed block like me, here is a temporary patch

Thank you alt; we have backed out this change pending further review. All delegates please make sure to use 0.3.1. All other users can continue to 0.3.0.

we need more carefully now :)

Download and build from:

https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/releases/tag/0.3.1

Suggestions:

1. Active Delegate, be careful and make sure you are producing blocks during upgrading.
2. Note to delegates: Before you upgrade, make sure you install the ntp daemon, and check the ntp_error in info command.
Here is a guide about how to setup that on ubuntu.
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-install-ntpd/

Here might be a quick way to update, if ntp_error is not close to zero.
