Where does one find all these different versions of the client again?  There was a sticky for 0.4.5 but now I can't find it and never did find 0.4.6 and now I see there's a 0.4.7 but no readily available link posted anywhere I can find.   :-\

If would be cool if there was one easy to find sticky thread for the latest release of the client (or is there? if so, where? because it's not easy to find).

I've had three crashes so far since running 0.4.7.  When the wallet crashes, it sends a report. But then I cannot open the wallet again by double-clicking on it. I have to restart the computer to be able to run the wallet. It's currently syncing, hopefully if it completely syncs then I wont have any issues.

Also, since I imported my wallet and it hasn't completely synced yet, I am not seeing a config.json file in the appdata/roaming/Bitshares X folder   and without the config.json I cannot add the chain server. This might be an issue that needs looked at. Also some people are reporting the chain server is not working anymore.

The reason you can't reopen the wallet after some of those crashes is that there's still a BitsharesX process running in the background.  Instead of restarting, you can kill that process using the task manager and then you should be able to run it again.
Oh man, thank you! I can't believe I didnt think of that

Figured. But just to be really sure. If I export my .json wallet, install the latest version, then import the wallet, my funds would be intact right? I'm using OS X Mavericks. Thanks.

I'm running the 0.4.7 client built from source on ubuntu.
It can get stuck syncing if you don't have your wallet open.

Something's wrong.  I mean really.  I cannot sync my wallet. It's really slow.  I hope the Bitshares crew are looking into it.

I have 1 new server like this.  has only 1 connection.  previously had 0 for a long time.  says 3 hours remaining.  Oh, maybe it's that chain server thing?  Saw a post by bytemaster saying if it is using chain server it will show 0 connections.

I'm still at wallet 0.3.0 and couldn't sync past block 275171. It gives up after awhile then attempts to sync again starting at 275165.

if you're using windows 7, right click the short cut, go to properties, click compatibility tab, then make it backwards compatible with windows xp service pack 3. 

crashes seemed to stop when i did this.

Awesome, thanks!  :D
