Do i need to keep the p2p log files? since 8/19, the AppData\Roaming\BitShares X\logs\p2p directory has grown to over 4GB. is this normal?
it won't break anything if i delete all but the currents day's logs, will it?
i may just test it, by copying the folder and deleting the original.

these are logs .. you can safely remove them ..
however I wonder why they grew so large ..
you can check the logging system configuration in the "config.json" file .. maybe you increased logging level for P2P?

looks like i had some connection issues on 8/19, during the initial setup of the wallet. one log was .5GB. couple of others on 8/19 and 8/20 were .2 to .4GB. after i got my account registered and the PTS wallet imported, the log size shrunk considerably, with largest being 24MB. most are in the 6-9MB range.
had the same pattern when i upgraded to the latest wallet version. I was on v3 something, and it stopped syncing. 4.08 fixed everything.
still working on the Linux wallet installation though. On ubuntu 14.04, i got the wallet to where it opens on the test network. I'm thinking i just need to copy the config.json file, and probably the rest of files from the %appdata%/BitsharesX folder from my windows installation, over to the linux VM. That sound like it will work?
One thing i've noticed about the Ubuntu installation instructions: there is a README in every directory below the top level BitsharesX directory. They have conflicting/incomplete installation instructions. Once i finally found the one with the complete and accurate instructions, i was finally able to get the wallet installed correctly. The source on github needs a bit of cleaning. consistency across all of the readme's, or removal of all but the 1 that works would be awesome, and probably save many others the headaches i ran into. something to do in your spare time, of course. lol
