Be sure to upgrade to v0.1.3 if you haven’t already. This version has really stabilized things.

Two issues with upgrading:

When closing my previous version (help said 0.1.1 but I think it was really 0.1.0), the process did not exit. The UI exited but the process remained. I had to manually kill the process before I was able to start version 0.1.3.

Upon opening version 0.1.3, all four of my transaction entries still say ‘unconfirmed’, but now the Descriptions say ‘Generated (not accepted)’. Does this mean that some other node had extended the chain first and my coins were generated in a dead branch? If so, why did the previous instance of the software not detect this immediately and begin generating coins in the winning branch? Bug in 0.1.0?

I’ll watch this instance and see how it goes…

Thanks,
