It seems to me that Bytemaster has been working like a lunatic for months. Can we think of a way to show our appreciation for his efforts?

The following is entirely speculation.
He might like some time off to relax, get pampered or just get away from it all on a holiday.  He may feel unwilling or unable to take a break because of all the commitments. With the amount of stuff to do, there perhaps will be no good time for him to do this. Maybe it's up to us to, therefore, to say, "Hey Bitemaster, we think you've put so much into this that you deserve a holiday! Go for it!". Now, I don't know when would be the most suitable time for this - that would have to be gauged somehow.

I have thought of various possible scenarios whereby it could be difficult or unwise for Bitemaster to announce that he's having a holiday. I'm creating this topic on the off-chance that any of these scenarios currently exists.  If the community encourages him to have a holiday it could feasibly enable it to happen (now or in the future), when it otherwise wouldn't have.

Of course it's not unlikely that what I'm saying here is way off the mark. It could even be offensive, nonconstructive or damaging somehow. Maybe Bitemaster has had a holiday, or is perfectly capable of organizing his own life! If that's the case then I'm sorry, and the topic can be deleted.

Sorry Bytemaster if my interfering is unwanted. This topic arose in my mind as I tried to imagine what it might have been like for you over recent times! The whole Bitshares thing to date has been an epic journey! Long may it continue (but with holidays )...

Should this be made into a poll?
Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or criticisms?
Should the above be applied to other members of the team as well as Bytemaster?

That's clearly a Wumpa Fruit,

Exhibit A:

I had to use a search engine for this!
Wumpa fruit is Crash Bandicoot's favorite food apparently.
Does Vato_KettenBlog have a pet video game character to feed?
Looking at the other clues in the bag, I'm wondering what a shaved Crash would look like!

Doh.  My bad.  I was sick and canceled the wrong order.

I hope you've recovered from your sickness
 
 

With all that's happening in the world of BitShares X and cryptocurrency in general, and with inescapable commitments on top, it's hard to find time for other things.

I hope this ain't too far off topic, but somehow I ended up here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wHbIWH_NGc
His talent is showcased from 4:06 onwards (watch at least until 4:44).
I would say the video which precedes the time-point which I specified is of interest too.

I reckon it's a breath of fresh air - intriguing and somewhat inspiring.

Anyway, which wins? BitShares X or Mongolian throat singing?

the uninstall procedure does only delete the binaries ... not the user data ...
they are stored in %APPDATA%  afaik... no windows specialist here though

That's right.  Go to \Users\username\AppData\Roaming and you'll see the BitShares X folder

That will be a great bit of trivia in a few years time if BTSX takes off

Yeah, it was 19 days behind. That's when BTSX launched isn't it? Maybe the wallet isn't working from the roaming data files somehow?

Edit: I've done a rescan - still no sign of my accounts. Maybe I should reinstall the client again. Thanks for your help so far Riverhead, perhaps I can pay you by voting for you!

Gotta get some sleep now, so I'll come back to this later...
