BitShares 0.5.0 Feedback

[valzav]

I cant register new accounts from the gui using the faucet , but even not using my own funds!
I managed to do that only from the cli or the gui's command console....

PS something else was that it show's that the faucet funds are at zero.... so I donated 100 BTS but I never have seen that funds when I refreshed the faucet's homepage.... 

Account registration with your own funds was fixed in 0.5.1, did you try it?
Faucet's Bitshares client was down yesterday - this is why you've seen 0 balance, nonetheless thank you for the donation.

I can't cancel my my orders on the bitUSD/bitGOLD market. I get this error:

Code: [Select]

cur_record->condition.slate_id == 0:

Workable GUI is needed urgently.

I also have to use bitshares_client.exe and keep typing "blockchain_get_blockcount" like a moron (or up+enter)... inching forward from 1502318 and it is painful and embarrassing.

Try to run the Windows bitshares console under \Program Files\BitSharesX\bin\bitshares_client.exe its syncing the blocks consistently compare to GUI, once synced then you can open the GUI.

Thanks.

Just wasted 8 hours trying to sync 0.5.1 wallet and it stuck at 30+ days left with a memory leak. After forced restart i wasn't able to login and had to reset database.

0.5.1 at least allowed to login and see the status of synchronization, it was cool as i was willing to wait. But after the crash i won't try to use it again. Back to 0.5.0

Light client is looking really good.

How do I run light client?

[mint chocolate chip]

The X needs to be removed from installer.

During the installation process, I have seen it say BitSharesX.

    Yeah, it's a great project with a lot of promise.  The ride has been.... interesting.... lol.  I think the whole ecosystem is organizing itself, however.  Bitshares' protocol is complex, so I can't blame the devs for it being hard to run on laptops.  I just hope that a stable light client comes out before the complexity becomes completely prohibitive to everyday users.

[LRENZ]

The user experience is still a little jarring.  The program feels "heavy" to use because of all the resource usage. I don't think it's necessarily bad, as long as it's stable.

It gives the program an air of mystery, like "what's it doing in there?".

I'm assuming that there is no way to cut down on resource usage? If it can be done, it should, because currently it represents a barrier to entry for users who are running their lives on the lean side so to speak.  Bitshares should be inclusive to people of all economic standing in my opinion.

Exactly my thought too. I haven't had access to my BTS in months because previous wallet updates made it too difficult on my mid-range laptop to just sync the block chain without crashing. So now have to wait to buy a new laptop or use a friends, tho high spec laptops are not that common really. God help anyone in sub Saharan Africa get involved with bitshares or any other crypto coin for that matter. These desktop wallets are putting everyone off from joining, waiting hours or days to sync block chains is torture, I hope someone invents a new alternative to the whole thing. Despite this I'm still ultra bullish on bitshares for long-term haha
