It's actually done in just 1 step. Just create the .bytecoin folder:
C:/Users/%Username%/AppData/Roaming/bytecoin - Windows
~/.bytecoin - Linux and Mac.

Even better! Thanks!

No. Don't even try to complain about that. In the process of development it is really hard to observe all possible errors.
All technologies can have bugs found in them.

I didnt mean to complain. I think our developers do a great job and that bug is not even a deal, as said before, it can be fixed in 1 step.

There is a huge bug in this release. Only users with downloaded blockchain can use is. Users with no downloaded blockchain will receive an error and daemon will not start.

If you are a new user follow the following steps to get a working wallet:
1. Download binaries
2. Create .bytecoin folder in the appropriate folder
3. Download the block chain into the .bytecoin folder
4. Start bytecoind
5. Start simplewallet

Enjoy

Major Bytecoin update

Bytecoin source code has been largely updated.

1) The block chain has been moved out of RAM, which cut down the usage from 4 GB to 850 MB. In the next releases it is expected to become as low as 350 MB.
2) The block chain file is now unified across all platforms.

When you run the new binaries, the daemon will automatically convert your old block chain to the new format. Your "blockchain.bin" file will be split into 3 files: "blockindexes.dat", "blockscache.dat", "blocks.dat".

Next week there will be another significant update!

P.S. BCN devs would like to thank all the beta tester from the community that helped them launch this release.

Nice to see some development. Dunno if this is normal but i am getting the above errors.

Greetings

I have asked during betatesting on this bigbrother errors because I got a lot of red rows with it. Dev people told me that It's another problem, which currently takes place in all CryptoNote coins not only bytecoin and the most important is that this does not have impact on the deamon functions. They are going to fix the problem soon but it is not probably priority nr.1 because it does not harm the function .... It makes sense to me.

Would we be able to find out how much the low memory load will effect it compared to before and why not done this way in the first place?

I browsed the code briefly and it seems to be doing some kind of caching, so the performance should not be affected too badly on the assumptions that: 1) you leave your node running, and 2) most of the block chain is not used, so the portion that is used can still fit in the smaller RAM usage.

As for why it wasn't done in the first place, it is slightly more complex and required more code (and testing, etc.). The blockchain-in-RAM approach works just fine as long as the blockchain is small enough, which is the case for every new coin. Only when it gets bigger is something more needed. So the developer or developers probably just deferred it until needed, and then implemented it. Totally reasonable.
