I do notice however though during startup that the disk access for whatever reason is extremely high. Why so much disk access? Is there some kind of complete reindexing taking place at startup?

Also re the memory usage.. @tonyk2.. the more markets you open the more data you are loading the more gets put into memory. I think this might have been done for the sake of real time data updates going faster rather than attempting to write updates to your hard disk. Updates come in.. more data gets feed into memory depending on what screen you left it on I suppose. In my test I only went to the one market I normally go to.. BTS/BitUSD.

With that in mind.. I am not a programmer.. but I cannot think of an elegant solution from an infrastructure perspective in a p2p network where you don't have that situation in an end client. The only alternative is to centralize that.. which as you know would not be acceptable to a decentralized network... unless...

The other alternative to this that would certainly speed it all up and reduce client resources is going to a web solution.. which we have seen.. it's lighter and puts all the data crunching at the server level instead of the client. That might be what you want to focus on if you do not have system resources available. Running 32bit can't be helping you much either.

I don't know how technically feasible it is to move a client wallet to a web wallet.. far as I know currently it's not possible.. but once it is then it's going to be awesome.

I would really like it if the client would have a call home feature and allow you to download and upgrade right from the client.

So many applications do that today already.. it would also help clients with smoother upgrading if there are certain procedures that have to take place.. like going from one version to another to complete an upgrade.

The check for updates in the current client I have never seen work.

If you can invert the colours I might consider it.. otherwise thats a crap load of blue ink!

Hi,

Thanks, but no thanks. Bitcoin and other digital currencies have recently
been outlawed by national legislation in Ecuador.

So your offer has no value to me.

best regards,
Richard sauder

Ha.. talk about towing the government line.

Sad answer really.. can't see beyond himself.. plenty of charities and others out there that he could have redirected it to.. if his rantings are really in the interest of truth and all that.

Just means there is someone else out there better suited to get the job done.. keep fishing.

To a certain extent are you not using your own "Bunker" meme, even if tongue in cheek, in a similar marketing effort?

Next I would like to go after the technically savvy "prepper" commmunity 

The extent I use the bunker meme in terms of nuclear threat is to the tone of what The Economist has written about the current state of affairs in the world. I don't generally say much about nuclear fallout.. but do talk about the real threat of natural disasters which are on the rise.. and the ultimate threat.. solar flares.

Let me know how you do with preppers.. I've got hundreds of them following my Fallout Complex twitter account.

Installed no problem on Windows 8.1 system with 6GB RAM and SSD drive over 0.6.2.

Loaded up.. logged in no problem.

Went to bitassets, loaded up a little snapper.. thats nice.

Bought some bitUSD at the same ASK for the lowest price.. order processed right away to withdraw my BTS.. but my buy order just sat there.

It took a full 8 minutes until the BitUSD arrive to my wallet.

Normally they was done instantaneously.. but I was doing the opposite normally and buying BTS.

Anyways.. going to take the bitUSD I just bought and go to www.cryptofresh.com and get me a t-shirt now.

I would go for a keychain for sure.

Apple products are rather specific.. I'm an Android fan myself.
