Are you suggesting to sell BTC now?!

Not sure if there even are BTC left

Not sure when, just think the dev team to hold USD or other fiat coin.
Now there is risk for btc to drop, also chance  to recover.

The bts client is hard to use on my coputer. Opening the client often leads no response, and once opened i need to download all the blocks Which is useless for me.

I wonder whether can the client just download the  latest blocks for average user.

Let us look at a situation like this:
Average joe want to receive money from another.  Joe firstly want to open the client ,and then watch his/her account credit. 
Now joe have to try to open the client many times, and have to wait a whole day to finally find her credit in the account.

So i think it may be better firstly allow open the client, then load the newest blocks and the higher blocks. The history blockchain may load after those.
I do not know whether the client can be developed like this, or some simpler client has already exist.
If there is some mistakes, please correct me.

In the future we might provide client downloads that contain the blockchain state already and only need to download latest blocks, but there is much other work to do before that, and basic light wallet will be out before then.

Bitcoin in v0.10 introduces a new feature where the block headers only are downloaded first, which then allows parallel downloading of the entire blockchain. This will increase download speed greatly, could we use a similar feature?

I'm not familiar with the method they are using, but I think it only works because of the PoW system they have.

In any case, downloading the blocks is not our bottleneck. Applying the blocks is, and that has to be done sequentially.

downloading the blocks is the bottleneck for me. Maybe my RAM is not enough, only 4GB.
I have download tree times, and the client just stopped with no response. Every time i have to restart, reset the database.
Another problem is that starting the client is very slow.

bts的地址余额要通过后台api调用才能看到，同步慢的话这里下载一个区块链就行了

多谢，真够落后的。。

If we have a business partner with merchant-web wallet ecosystem,  such as coinbase, wallet client problem will become less problematic and bitAsset adoption will skyrocket.

thats very correct, and now we can go down that path with the power of BTS community.

We know where we are
We know where we should go
All we need to do at this moment is to set a plan and start moving.

This sounds like daydreaming. How to persuade that kind of partners with no equal value. So hard.

If we don't move at all we are daydreaming, thats why we need to move step by step,
I am not talking about development of BTS core, I am talking about we should start the marketing in a more practical way.

Practical way, agree.
Some basic fairs need to be finished such us a usable wallet. So i feel this topic get the right point.
Market is like a battle , and our service is the swords. How to fight without weapon..

Those developers working so hard on this wallet , keep up the good work . Those who still thinking about debating on Bitcoin related subjects ? Back to work on the wallet , please  . 

Can't agree more.Wallet is the most important thing.

+ 5%
Make it usable so that people can use it, or it is useless.  Hope the dev team will consider this more.

I think it is because:
1.  BTC crash
2. The product of bts is not usable. Few fresh join and some people is leaving .

Light wallet is in the first priority compared with any other things.
Luckily, Yunbi.com is preparing  to work on it to replace or compete with previous dev teams, and ask for a 100% delegate for compensation. Stay tuned. 

Good to see other team to compete with the dev team. We hope client with better usability will appear.

I don't think it's really that bad, I'm running it inside a VM with 4GB RAM, and it's still have ok performance. My host machine is a 3 year old computer with i7 2600k CPU and 8GB RAM.

Mine is a 1.5 year computer with i5 cpu and 4GB RAM. Sometimes it will fail to start with no response. After start i have to wait long hours to download the useless blocks (old blocks is useless for me). And i tried twice, but just failed to finish download the block and the client can't be opened correctly.
This sounds a long complaint, but it is real, and i am trying the third time, downloading...
