Hi, I am really interested in the whole concept of BitShares and would love to become part of the community. What is stopping me, the ridiculous client that chews 100% of my CPU and all of my Memory. This is a major road bump to adoption of BitShares, I download a Bitcoin client I have it running no problems. I don't even notice it. I tried running this client on my laptop and on my server, it locked both of them up with 100% CPU cycles so I couldn't use my computers.
Please spend all your time and energy fixing the client first as this is not going to get wide spread adoption if the client sucks. I am off to BitReserve right now, I will be back in a few months just to monitor what is going on and to see if the client has been fixed. Then I might consider investing in buying Bitshares.
