Just updated and yes that was a very pretty splash screen - shame its not just the background or something.

great job guys.

When I hover on the check mark (when all blocks are downloaded), I no longer get the difficulty reported.

Hi Kevlar, I thought the difficulty only shows when syncing?. I have to go to Debug console to get that consistently.

I agree, I looked at the GUI in Qt. There could easily be a switch, that runs other information or a a markay of Statistics.

Personally, I think we should do the Help, Urgently, you will never known the pain you’re going to feel (in support), if we don’t.

It looks like we will have to patch ourselves from now on, so we use Github to include and test the patches. I would like to learn about the patches, even if we ACK them in to 0.9

Hi!

On the the VO.8.50 version my old transaction come up. is this ok, or do I not downloaded ok?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friends!

Hey S&H, did you mean your transactions did not come up?

Is the balance okay?

Thanks :)

SkullandHeadphones

yes they did come up.
With regards to my balance I didn’t trust myself to keep it there, so I transferred it to the btc-e wallet before I trashed the old one Feathercoin Qt.

Ruthie

All is good S&H :D

You’re going to be really upset when BTC-e goes down, get’s hacked, or takes the money and runs. It happens ALL THE TIME. I’ve personally lost 12 BTC to website hacks.

Don’t say you weren’t warned. The best way to keep crypto-coins is with a paper wallet.

I got my wallet updated, everything went smooth. I like the look of it when it first pops up.

Thanks Kevlar, I have to look into that.

Does this have any effect on my android wallet?

I found a small, language issue in this client:

In Polish - not “Okno debudowania” in card “Pomoc”, but “Okno debugowania” ;)

I would like to know this too …

Is the Mac version working? I’m getting a ‘no block source available’ message? Seems strange since my Litecoin and Bitcoin clients work fine. Any ideas, anyone? Thank you…

It happens time by time, that the client can’t connect to the network fast.

The message you see, says, that the client didn’t find an active seed node it can use as a starting point to discover the underlaying p2p network.
Normally after a while the synchronization starts.

If it hangs for a longer time after starting to sync, stop and start the client again.
In help-> debug->logfile you can find more detailed information what the client does at the moment

Cheers. :) I left it running overnight, and now it’s synchronising with the network. There’s all this FUD about online wallets, and when you go to use the proper “offline” wallet, they don’t work quite as well as they should from a UX pov (at least that’s how it feels to non-technical users).

Update: Wallet has now fully synced, and I am impressed, it’s lightning fast! :)
