not sure what you mean with 'I decided..'?
I am a new user and downloaded the wallet from the official page to try it - I don't have any old wallets
and after waiting for hours for further chain download I have given up - it's stuck completely - or do you expect me to leave it waiting for days?

I have tried for 8 hours to open and create new wallet (windows) - 400+ days of blockchain sync - and it will not succeed.
I think I have closed and opened wallet 15 times - always made sure no bitshares process was running before a new restart.
It always get stuck after trying to sync just a few days - is this really supposed to happen on the day of official release?

sorry - but you don't have the skill to communicate in a decent way.
I'm not crying if you ignore me. Ignore is for spineless people - so take your pick

You are like a steeplechase horse with blinkers - not able to look to the sides.
Whether I am a clown or a troll remains to be seen - those terms are a typical forum response to people who say something you don't like to hear but you suspect yourself could be true.
I actually am very much in favour of pushing for an alternative world currency - and that could be BTSX - or another client.
What I have said is that if only the devs and the insiders knows how to run the client - while the masses struggle to run it due to bugs - then the risk is that you may lose potential future customers.
And may I also remind you that my reflections over this client - or any other malfunctioning client - are simply my experience trying it, and does not need to be ridiculed or even commented on. I am not writing this to demand a response like: oh thank you, we didn't know, we will immediately sort it out so that you are happy
I don't really care - it is not my business - but it is sad if an excellent client turns away people like me with money to invest, if it is not working as intended.
I am not a clown so for now I will let the client rest and wait to see in the future if it will sustain - then I might come back and try it again

@bytemaster
it is your baby (afaik?) so you decide when it can walk.
why do you let investors decide that (puzzles me)?

@gamey
if you read my OP I joined AUG23 but that does not mean that I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have no pressing agenda with the client - my point is that it is being used officially for trading when it is not ready - but ready can be interpreted differently depending on where in the system you are.
@ bitmeat
if you build in a delegate feature - then obviously a user/investor will try it out to see if it can give income
.. and finally - I indeed have a positive view on the client - as on other clients, current and upcoming.
critique must be taken if you go public

there is a big difference between a product which is not on the market yet, and one that is on the market and officially trading - even being an alpha version with bugs..
it does not matter to 'be first - before the competitors' with an important item as a new virtual currency.
even if many good products will pop up over the near future - I as a customer/user/investor might try out a few - but I will eventually pick the one which is smooth, stable and revolutionary.
why would a developer release a product - for official trading that is - and risk lose potential customers due to too many bugs?
a few bugs I can live with, but missing stability will turn me away.
edit: even if the client will eventually turn stable - but that would be too late I'm afraid

@onceuponatime:
Indeed I will stay away - but that is not because some here in this thread advice so - that is my intention anyway.
The devs should not have given in to group pressure, stand strong in your own belief, produce your thing, release it when you feel good and ready about it - if it is revolutionary it will succeed however long time it takes to be ready.
Good luck - and Gods speed

@shentist:
I understand patriotism very well and it is a positive thing.
But I for one did not follow BTSX via this or other foras - I stumbled over it via the iNet by chance and this is why I say that even if it is an alpha version it was still available to the masses/public.
If it was meant for a closed test group it should have remained as such.

You are just confirming that a product should not be released before it is fully ready..
edit: or should a say: you are just underlining my statement that nothing should be released before it is fully ready..

wrong..
even if it is alpha - it is released to the public - hence it is considered official..
..and yes I did read that warning that it is still a work in progress.
Let me remind you that Mercedes (or any other product for that sake) does not distribute 4 wheels and a steering wheel to hope for customers - they wait till it is 100% ready because they know that then they will get customers..
I would agree that this comparison might not be valid - but I think you get the hint

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!
