BTSX 0.4.12 Released - Mandatory Upgrade by Sept. 5 19:00 UTC

[Riverhead]

With the Windows Binary on my Win7 machine the splash screen disappeared shortly after the re-index started. The "Setup" task bar item is still there and the harddrive is churning away (BitSharesX32.exe is taking up about 280MB of ram).


I'll update if it comes back after indexing.

So the blockchain is already about 386MB and we're just getting started. Most financial institutions are required to keep records for five years. Is there any plan to prune the blockchain or address this side effect of 10 second blocks?

The raw chain (just blocks and transactions) is 88 MB
The index used to maintain quick access / sort /etc  is 277 MB

Future plans call for removing the TITAN information (encrypted data) from the blockchain and relying on a notification service.  This should reduce transaction sizes by up to 50%

The next release will also support paying transaction fees in USD as well as bids with USD/CNY/etc.   This should reduce the number of signatures per transaction.   

Reducing the size of the "raw chain" is easy, reducing the size of the index on that chain is much harder.

Delegates & Seed Nodes should upgrade ASAP. 
Publish your version info as "0.4.12" after you upgrade to keep my vote.

Is there no OSX version?  Do not see it on Github.  Only see Windows version.

riverhead-del-server-1 and chain/seed nodes updated to 0.4.12.

Note to other delegates: It takes longer than previous versions to re-index the database. Make sure you give yourself enough time or start 0.4.12 in it's own data-dir.
