You are saying only people who have these skills/tools are allowed to be delegates?  I know there are more than just myself who are current delegates that probably need the GUI.

If this is a requirement, please vote me out. I would prefer that route rather than to start missing blocks because I am late to the game. Plus I could kill my VPS sooner.

Thanks!

I'm OK with anyone voted in being delegate. However it depends on dacsunlimited to provide gui or binary before the fork. Maybe they should respond.

respond: 0.4.3 with binary is coming in next few hours

BitShares X 0.4.2 is out, all delegates and seed nodes, upgrade your engine:

0.4.2 is coming soon, all delegates need to update it.

All delegates, exchanges, seed nodes, and other services should subscribe to this thread by clicking the NOTIFY button at the top of the page.

The latest official release can always be found at this URL: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases/latest

I suggest don't update to this version,
seems _in_sync is not correct
delegate will missed block

If somebody missed block like me, here is a temporary patch

This is a good suggestion, don't upgrade for now. 0.3.1 for delegates is coming in several minutes

Download and build from:

https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/releases/tag/0.3.1

Suggestions:

1. Active Delegate, be careful and make sure you are producing blocks during upgrading.
2. Note to delegates: Before you upgrade, make sure you install the ntp daemon, and check the ntp_error in info command.
Here is a guide about how to setup that on ubuntu.
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-install-ntpd/

Here might be a quick way to update, if ntp_error is not close to zero.
ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org
