Hey,

Today, I have deleted my old Bitshares client and compiled the new version 0.4.27.2 with my ubuntu 14.04 machine. Unfortunately, now the client crashes each time I am trying to start it. The console gives me the following error messasge

 It would be great if someone could explain me what exactly is happening and how I can resolve this problem.

Thank you

Hey guys,

I have the same problems with my ubuntu 14.10 build on amd64.
I have also the following findings:
a) Still receiving (116 error instances after 5 minutes):
'JSON Parse error: Property name must be a string literal [show details]'
b) Clicking 'show details' doesn't do anything.
c) 'Not connected'
and
d) That some funds have been send to 'Unknown'.

These funds, which have been send to 'Unknown' were all market orders. I was buying bitusd. Maybe there is link between the JSON Parse error and the market orders. I have never looked deeply under the hood of bitshares, thus I can not evaluate whether there could be a possible link. But I want  to mention it here at least.

Hammurabi, do you have also some bitusd in your account?

Could I have also some seed funds, please?

thank you

Go to advanced tab on your account and post your public key (BTSX.......) here and you can get some seed funds to register your account.
