Title: New Wallet is Coming Along Nicely 0.6.1
Post by: hpenvy2 on February 10, 2015, 09:10:15 am
If you haven't used the wallet in awhile, you might want to check out 0.6.1.  I'm still lost in the delegates tab but the stability and performance is worlds better for me personally.  It would be great if everyone could take a few minutes to look for bugs.

Yup, works like a charm, just like most previous ones. I don't see what the big deal about stability is. Out of all the releases I've had maybe 3 that were crashing, the rest were rock solid to the point that I've been leaving the client running for days and forgetting about it.

Now, someone could say that not everyone has a "powerful" machine (i5 with 16GB RAM and an SSD) but the way I see it there will soon be separate light/mobile BitAssets wallets for our clients. The full Bitshares platform is a tool for shareholders and traders and how can anyone be an "investor" in anything when they can't afford a modern PC?

I too never had any problem with any version.(maybe with one but i cant remember)
And i even used a crappy xp machine once and had no problem.

25% of the people here rarely use their wallet due to poor performance.

I've not tried the new wallet yet though, maybe i'll re-poll in a month when everyone has upgraded.

I had tons of issues. I ended up transferring my wallet to a different pc because it would not work at all on the original pc. Even then, I had to rebuild the database every time I wanted to make trades or do anything.

The most resent releases have been good to me though!

I've been having issues for awhile now but I'm almost certain it's because I'm only running 4GB RAM.  I have 16GB on order so I'll report back within the next week or so. 

We may need to indicate system requirements on the download page to help mitigate 'issues'.

Holy crap its awesome!

My shit computer that have always had problems with the full node suddenly runs it without any issues. Startup takes about 25 seconds now as opposed to 5-10 minutes before.

Address book is awesome, new market dashboard looks awesome too. General design is great.

This is a bit trivial, but the robot image has changed from my original account setup image. Anyway to choose our own?

You can't change it. The fact that it changed on its own is because we're apparently using an outside service to generate them. This means that right now they can't be trusted and are pretty useless because they might change again. In the future their generation will be integrated in the wallet and they will become operational.

Just remove it for now. It will probably be a while before we can use them and while they are a nice security feature they are not required for the system to be functional.

I'm not going to remove it because it will be more work to remove it than just leave it as is now.. it is just showing the robohash of the cart integrator... which might just be wrong for now but thats ok

IMO the 6 featured markets should be the 6 markets with highest liquidity over the past 7 days or so. Then we can push BTC/USD up there.

We should be making BTC/USD one of the top liquid markets by encouraging its use by making it prevelant in the client.

This is a technical question, but I'm not sure what happened to the old Technical Discussion sub-forum for support questions like this, let me know if there is a better place to post this type of question...

I've just run v0.6.1, and its not picking up all of my accounts, just the first I registered. Every previous version I've installed has picked up both accounts, but not this one. How do I get it to locate a missing account?

For me it's working much better too, well done. Much quicker and very smooth to use.

It's due to an issue with image sizes, if you ask for ?size=200x200 you may get a different one from ?size=150x150 etc. I switched over all the places in the wallet that uses the robots to 200x200, so if you just use that you should always get the same robots as the wallet.

I did those, glad to see you like em :)

I agree they should be the ones with the most volume, but we'll have to loop over all the market combinations to calculate the BTS equivalent volumes and then compare them, and that might slow things down again.

okay just opened it again today and somehow its back to taking 10 minutes to start up. Guess we just have to wait for trading in the light wallet before we can appeal to users of low end computers.

Seriously, I feel like I have no idea what's going on at any given time. Then out of the blue: *woosh* another proposal of some kind to further blur the lines of what the hell's actually happening.

I think they got the hint no more surprises.. Bm seems very spontaneous but thats not how market likes it.. But a backlog would be nice instead where new ideas are put and ppl can read and comment
