General Discussion / losing patience with bitshares x
« on: September 02, 2014, 07:35:41 pm »
I started using Bitshares X ver 0.4.10 as a brand new user.
Was positive and curious about this new entry on the market.

Since that date I have had multiple bugs with the client, and nothing has improved.
Constant re-installs, rescans, import of private keys and etc. - and still Transaction scanning progress -100% is popping up.
I have addressed this multiple times in the forum - just a few well-hearted responses - but no real help other than what I have been able to google and lookup in the whitepaper and wiki, which btw sometimes gives contradicting instructions..

I also tried to enter as a delegate - managed to find out how to do it by googling and piece together the commands to do it..
2 of my accounts are registered as Standby and I have tried multiple times to make them able to create blocks - both with the console command and from the account itself with the delegate feature.
Created 2 accounts for delegation - entered both with 100% but they turned out to be 50% and 66% respectively.. Not able to increase this - only decrease apparently?
After entering the command to have them create blocks and after voting for both - none of them shows up in the Standby delegates list..

Forum is not much help, as noone seems to know how to solve these bugs, and the devs does not seem to answer the questions/queries even after many days.

If you guys continue this path you will scare away potential customers and investors.

A new client/currency MUST work when you disclose it to the public, otherwise it is doomed.
I can't say this many times enough:
Wait with release till it is ready - otherwise forget it!
It is not sufficient that a group of devs and insiders knows how to run the client - if the masses, who you depend on, are struggling!

Stakeholder Proposals / config?
« on: September 01, 2014, 08:51:39 am »
I have setup an account as a delegate and I can see it is entered as Standby, but it is not on the standby delegates list.

do I need to edit the config.json or the node_config.json files?
I mean: do I need to enter e.g. a port and then open it on my router?
if so - which line is that in the json file?

Technical Support / transfer between accounts not showing
« on: August 31, 2014, 02:31:58 pm »
ver 0.4.10

I created my 1st account last week - and today I created 2 further accounts in the same client, and registered those.
Made 2 transfers from the 1st account to both new accounts.
After several restarts of the client the balances of both new accounts still shows 0 BTSX.
The balance of 1st account correctly shows the balance after I transferred out of it.

I see this:
Transaction scanning progress is -100%
in the lower lefthand corner (in the green bar) Blocks are fully sync'ed
and:
Updating transaction history...
in the Recent Transactions

What could be wrong?

Stakeholder Proposals / how to register as a delegate?
« on: August 31, 2014, 09:53:12 am »
I read the:
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DPOS#How_to_become_a_delegate

Is it correct that I don't need to enter those commands in the console, but can instead go to Accounts - Edit and then tick the delegate box?
The cost looks like a random one: 16.52948 and constantly counting upwards, does that mean that it will cost more and more to become a delegate if I wait, and that if I activate at the current cost this is a fixed cost at time of activating?

edit: oh I see now that the cost also count downwards - hmm - so how do I know when to activate as a delegate?
oh and btw: is that fee just a drop in the ocean? will I easily be able to regain that as a delegate?
