We desperately need more volunteers--what do you say?   

What do you desperately need more volunteers for, exactly?  Transcriptions of the hangouts?  Or points of concern?

Any of that.

Noted.

Your quote brings to mind the poem Invictus:

Out of the night that covers me,
 Black as the pit from pole to pole,
 I thank whatever gods may be
 For my unconquerable soul.
 
 In the fell clutch of circumstance
 I have not winced nor cried aloud.
 Under the bludgeonings of chance
 My head is bloody, but unbowed.
 
 Beyond this place of wrath and tears
 Looms but the Horror of the shade,
 And yet the menace of the years
 Finds and shall find me unafraid.
 
 It matters not how strait the gate,
 How charged with punishments the scroll,
 I am the master of my fate,
 I am the captain of my soul.

 

You ROCK xeroc!  So helpful.

The bad news is after all of that my client still says v.22 and is stuck syncing at the same block.

Should I have deleted something in my .bitsharesx folder?  might it be messing up when i'm installing the gui?

The upside for me is that through this process of trial and (mostly) error I've learned much that I didn't even know I wanted to know... but I really just want to learn how to upgrade this software properly, and it's eluding me.  NOTHING could compel me to reinstall windows OS again, so I have to learn how to do this!

I did this: 

git clone https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx cd bitsharesx
git pull
git checkout v0.4.23.1
cmake .

it outputs:

 cmake .

make 

and it outputs:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.


Don't I need to init and update before the cmake/make?

I'm not in the midst of it at the moment, but will begin the process again. 

At first I tried the git checkout command before any other command, and it said something about there not being any git repository..... then I figured out i needed to be in the bitsharesx folder (after cloning the bitsharesx page) for it to seem to do anything, which was mostly talking about the "head"

i'm sorry, I'm technically remedial (but persistent!)   

I'll begin again now so I can give a more precise answer if this doesn't help.

Perhaps before I begin though, can you tell me at what point should I insert the command "git checkout v0.4.23.1?"

I'm so endeared to you for posting these links!

Same error message after updating.  Will have to approach it fresh tomorrow
