I used the command save_wallet_file test3.json in the cli_wallet and tried to restore it in the UI but it says invalid format. Is there a different command I should be using in the CLI or is restore not implemented yet?

Just want to make sure it's not PEBKAC before I log an issue.

PEBKAC?

The CLI wallet format is not compatible with the GUI import format.  There is not currently an easy way to migrate from one wallet to the other.

Yes, my UI is frozen on explorer blocks (Chrome), I'm currently sending 20 at a time.

Yea I've noticed this too today while you guys were spamming I managed to get it a little better but haven't pushed those changes yet, I'll have to look into it in more detail once I get the time, maybe later today or if not tomorrow.

I was able to significantly improve the performance by only showing the most recent 15 operations in Recent Activity and have committed my changes.

I will be 'off-grid' for the next day or two. 

If my witness runs off and misbehaves, or needs updates, I will likely not be available to fix it until I return.

Happy testing! : )

jtml - what kind of difficulties are you having at the moment, you have missed quite a few blocks recently.

Before I raise an issue, on the UI spamming to myself supertest1 the transactions appear as 1 hour ago. Is this a known feature?
It also appears the last block was produced 1 hour ago.

Note: I have move from hotel network this morning, to using a mobile hot spot to check graphene. Will this in anyway affect the datetime ?

Depending upon which version of the code you had it may or may not be factoring in timezone.

What I've noticed is that the GUI becomes totally unresponsive when these transaction spamming events happen.
Especially this page:
https://graphene.bitshares.org/#/explorer/blocks

It referrers to both Firefox and Chrome (on Windows 7).
Has anyone noticed similar effect?

Me too

I have noticed that it drags a bit.  I have some ideas on improving performance.

I think it's more serious than that - the whole thing becomes totally unresponsive. In case of Firefox it slows down the entire browser.
I'd guess it's an issue with the "Recent Activity" list.

What is the best practice for not missing any block during an update?

The update_witness command in CLI wallet allows you to change your witness's block signing key.  This architecture allows several different downtime-free update procedures according to your specific hosting situation:

Thanks theoretical! Great work!

  indeed, very useful and sounds like a fool-proof way to do it with no risk of signing double blocks.

One question: how long does it take for the signing key to be updated after you call the update_witness command? As soon as the transaction is processed by the network? After the next maintenance interval? Sth else?

I seem to recall that in BitShares 0.9.x changing the signing key did take a bit of time to go into effect, so that set_block_production true/false was the preferred way. If in graphene the call to changing the signing key takes effect immediately, then that's really nice as it's a much better way of doing it.
