Of course there is a security issue, this is why I don't encourage such downloading of the blockchain from a torrent or website. If the normal way of downloading it with the client takes 2 hours on modern hardware, this is fast enough. I have heard stories of users taking days to download the full blockchain, those must be on slow machines, I have no other explanation. For such users doing a rescan will also take very long, but without a rescan (and also comparing the last block with the network) they must trust the provider of that torrent or zip archive.

2016-01-03 12:33:02 INFO: Shutting down...

Just for the record, I upgraded from 1.6.2. It worked in the end but took a while.

I run my node in a docker container running on a rather powerful NAS (Synology 1815+).
I always backup my db to avoid having to re-download it.
The db upgrade from 1.6.2 to 1.7.4 was rather quick (couple of minutes I would say) but the rescan boy.... from 14:12 to 06:21 next day

But all worked fine. Today the compressed db is about 500MB, this is not worth spending the time to download it. I suggest you make your own copy. Even if this is a month old, it is still much quicker. It would be a nice option in the client to be able to dump a copy of the db periodically in a folder (for the lazy

Hi, I just upgraded from 1.6.2 and i don't see left menu bar.
Linux+chromium.
any help¿? thanks

Is the left bar completely hidden or just covered partially by center area ? Can you try to click one of the transaction links on the dashboard to see if this fixes the problem ? Do you see an error message in the JavaScript console ?
If this still occurs please post a screen shot.

With 'Delete Shares' function,where did these deleted assets go instead of sending to genesis account?

thx for the new release. i have one suggestion for the client but didnt found a suitable sub forum here for it:
in the marketplace (and anywhere else) we only see NXT amounts. would be nice to also show EUR or USD amount. especially in the marketplace. its easy to poll the price API from www.cryptocoincharts.info for example. one quick thing would be to show the other currencies amounts as tooltip when hovering over NXT amounts.

Is there any way for the ledger to show more than (for me) 106 items?

When I go to my ledger it stops at 106 entries (about a month ago)

I already put nxt.ledgerTrimKeep=0 in my config

# Specify the number of blocks to keep when trimming the account ledger table.  A value
# of zero will cause all blocks to be kept.
nxt.ledgerTrimKeep=3000

After block 621000 these deleted shares will disappear. You'll be able to track these transactions using the account ledger or using the delete history page in the asset exchange menu.

Thanks.

2) Account Control, how does it work?

From the home page, click on the Account Balance More Info >, then the Account Control tab. This will let you set up mandatory approval for the account, which essentially means all its out-going transactions must be phased transactions, which means they must be approved according to the rules you set up here.

For example, if you wanted three signatures needed, then add the other two accounts to the whitelist under the second tab, and set the Number of Accounts to 2. If you wanted two out of three, then set Number of Accounts to 1. The current accounts signature will always be needed. If that's a problem, you can add a fourth account, set Number of Accounts to 2, and share the pass phrase for the current account with the other three people.

You really need to understand how phased transactions work first, before using account control.
