BitShares 0.9.0-RC1 Feedback

[onceuponatime]

I've downloaded the 0.9.0-RC1 on my Windows 7 test machine and am having numerous problems.

It crashed several times and froze and had to be closed several times, but finally it loaded and synced.

But there are 21 accounts at the Dashboard page, 19 of them not mine! Some of them appear to be accounts that I sent 0.5BTS to when I was sending to newbies to register. Others, I have no idea, and they aren't registered.

And now the client says "Severe network problems" and is not syncing even though on my main machine with the 0.8.0 version there is no network problem.

Shut down and restarted again, twice. Same thing. "Severe network problems", not syncing, and still al the extra accounts at Dashboard.

I can't get to the console for information because the 21 accounts go below the page, and I can't scroll down past them to "Advanced".

Overall slick! Here's what I found in the GUI on OSX:

Exchange page
 - MPA and UIA tables are not populated

Market page
 - Price graphs are not showing in 'Flipped' mode
 - Price graph scrolls on its own when my cursor hovers over it
 - 'Volume' and '24hr Low/High/Change' in the upper pane all read 0 but 'Latest/Call Price' is fine
 - The 'Short Sell' and 'Margin Call' tables also get stuck to my cursor. The Buy/Sell tables don't seem to exhibit this behavior

Suggestions for 1280 x 800 display

 - Can the price graph be shrunk vertically by 25% or so? I can't see the whole depth graph without scrolling.
 - Can the Order History pane be widened a little? It requires horizontal scrolling and feels a bit cramped, especially in 'My Order History'

Also, I restarted the client and got another exception. I launched it once more and it runs fine again.

ninja edit:
I like the new graphs.. big improvement! Especially with the 'All-time' view which seems to work now! The issue I mentioned above needs to be resolved so I can get the full graph experience. Also, are tooltips in the price graph gone now, or is that a bug?

It's always surprising to see the number of bugs that just appear out of nowhere on release!

I'll have a look once I get home. Any values not showing are most likely related to changes in the backend client API, I only tested it with 0.8.1 and there's been some changes since.

The price graph has data for 1 year now which is why the all time view "works" as you say. The tooltip should be displayed in text inside the graph window, no moving tooltip.

You have a pretty low resolution screen but I'll have a look if there's anything to be done.

What are we to do with the "include" folder in the .dmg?

same question.

edit: let it hang logging for about 10 minutes and it eventually authed me.

Looks like it's re-scaning the wallet (for transactions).

Right after the replay, BitShares encountered an exception. I relaunched it and got another:

Now I launched it for the third time, no problems logging in! A fleeting bug of some sort. On to more testing...

I had a similar experience. Crashed 3-4 times then made it through the replay to the login screen.

On the login screen, unlocking the wallet causes the program to hang at the loader. Wiping the app data and resetting the chain ended in a crashing scenario like above which eventually resolves but then the hanging issue happens.

OS X isn't stable but it sounds like this release is more stable for Windows users. That's a good sign at least.

Torrents aren't seeded currently. Once downloaded I"ll seed all three .torrents until the next release.

Snappy blockchain replay. Snappy interface. Fixed my active key not being regenerated issue. Zero crashes.

Absolutely awesome. 

[clayop]

Not a serious problem. Blockchain order history in market does not show timestamp. "NaN"
