Title: Need some nodes.
Post by: Rafikichi on June 24, 2015, 05:25:29 am: SWIM has been invested since Nov. 2013 and the time has come for my fiance to get a car so she doesn't have to trek up hill with our child to daycare every morning. My Mac/Windows blew up so I transferred the appdata folder to a laptop and opened up same updated .9.2 bitshares client but im 23 days behind and no nodes are connecting. I need some nodes to add tonight. Any answers?

Ive got crazy hard drive activity and full cpu usage and I want the bitshares sold tonight. Im sure im not most popular but at least they held 2x value from purchase.

If you still can't sync, I've had better luck with the cli client.

CLI=Command Line Interface.

On Windows it's available here:
C:\Program Files\BitShares\bin\bitshares_client.exe
(you need to quit the graphical interface first to be able to run CLI)

BitShares 2.0 is split between a backend, that us geeks can run, and browser based front end that normal people can run.
