fwiw 0.4.10 has been rock solid for me (linux cli build). 48 hours plus of no crashes.. about 24 hours longer than I've made it thus far.

The windows client is still pretty unstable though.

issue has been resolved

Can you please explain how you resolved the issue so I can add it to the OP?

Well, I got voted back in happily the day after making my last post ITT. My reliability has increased a lot since making that hiccup my first day as a delegate. I am now at 95.5% reliability, and I expect it to further increase as time goes on as I have been keeping close watch of my delegate. I've also been performing all upgrades quickly, and keeping my price feeds up to date.

I have gone down like ~20 spots today though and I'm now sitting in the 101 slot. I would appreciate your votes to help keep me in.

In case you were not aware, I have revealed my identity for all to know if it makes you feel more comfortable about voting for me. Here is that info:

I would appreciate your votes. I have no problem revealing my identity. My participation is a bit low right now, but that is because I've only been a delegate for a couple days. I made a silly error on the first day and missed 8 blocks which gave me 0% participation <facepalm.jpg>. I fixed the problem and my participation has increased to above 90%.. it should get better as I am keeping a close eye on my VPN and updating price feeds regularly. I have good trust in the Bitcoin and  Litecoin community, and have been operating Bitcoin/Litecoin mining farms for about two years now so I am more than capable of operating a delegate. My pay rate is 75%, no charities or anything at the moment! but I am helping out in other ways around the forums as much as possible. Along with telling people about Bitshares on Bitcointalk on my main thread and defending it on others: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225659.0

I have also been ttrying to help provide technical support to users that are having issues, and I am still defending Bitshares as always from FUDsters on Bitcointalk.

This was my latest conquest:

i'll take actual USD in my possession over BITUSD any day for a long long time.

I'm talking about actual physical cash (USD).

lol as if I didn't realize that banks operate on digital cash (USD).

There are obviously some advantages to having physical cash compared to bitUSD (Bitshare's digital USD version), but there are also some disadvantages. I think it is silly to write off the whole idea of decentralized market pegged assets due to their real life counterparts being "safer." Do you also not have a bank account, not use debit or credit cards, and never buy gift cards as presents? I would argue all of those things are not as safe as "physical cash in your possession." Furthermore, you could make the argument that Bitcoin/Litecoin are not as safe as physical cash in your possession.. I just don't get your point.

The advantages of having physical cash in your possession are pretty obvious, so I will highlight some of the disadvantages. Physical cash can be:
- Easily confiscated by the government [bitUSD- (if you secure it properly) could not confiscated]
- Easily taxed (no one can force taxes on transactions with a decentralized block chain)
- Limited transactions (you can't send it anywhere in the world on a whim)
- Someone can easily short change you without you noticing (cannot happen with cryptocurrencies)
- Someone can give you fake dollar bills as change or payment (cannot happen with cryptocurrencies)
- You cannot easily speculate on the price of the dollar with cash (with bitUSD you can conveniently go long or short)
- Etc.

There are uses for decentralized digital forms of FIAT and commodities, and that is what makes Bitsharesx valuable (and me a fan boy of them.)  

I guess BM is spending enormous amount of time providing support for 'account/amounts' floating in the blockchain (for reference check the # of new commands in the last release), while the greatest invention after the internet, could have well gone without the benefits of TITAN (and still remained the greatest thing in the last x.... years).

Ah, I see what you mean. I have an idea to fix this.

I propose making a troubleshooting tab to be included in the client instead of having the commands hidden in the console tab. Make it super user friendly to troubleshoot different problems. Under that trouble shooting tab there can be the following:

• For "Not Connected" issues or Resync issues, try the following:
  
  • A button that increases # of connected peers:
    network_set_advanced_node_parameters {"desired_number_of_connections":50, "maximum_number_of_connections":100}
  • A button that adds nodes manually:
    network_add_node "107.170.211.129:1700" add
    network_add_node "80.240.133.79:1776" add
    network_add_node "188.226.195.137:60696" add
    network_add_node "76.74.170.79:54200" add
    network_add_node "176.9.234.166:1700" add
    network_add_node "180.153.142.120:1777" add
    network_add_node "162.243.220.142:1777" add
    network_add_node "84.238.140.192:42577" add
    network_add_node "5.101.106.138:1778" add
    network_add_node "69.164.192.144:1700" add
    network_add_node "192.168.0.14:1776" add
    network_add_node "78.46.32.25:1776" add
    network_add_node "192.168.0.12:44327" add
    network_add_node "70.114.143.108:1776" add
    network_add_node "106.187.91.24:38581" add
    network_add_node "106.185.26.162:1981" add
    network_add_node "188.138.107.159:1776" add
    network_add_node "104.131.136.190:1776" add
    network_add_node "95.85.33.16:8764" add
    network_add_node "198.199.103.79:1776" add
    network_add_node "104.131.234.136:8801" add
• If your balance is wrong or missing, try the following:
  
  • A button that resyncs the block chain:
    wallet_rescan_blockchain
  • Etc.
• Etc.

Make it stupidly easy to troubleshoot the most common issues, then less people will come and ask about how to fix these things.

OK, I just bought 1 bitBTC to kick things off (from a short at 17,000.00

You will be read about in little kids' history classes in 20 years. 

I added some more things you can try if you are getting a "Not connected" error and syncing issues, and added an extra troubleshooting method.
