Topic: If I recently installed bitcoin-qt 0.8, what should I do? (Read 970 times)
Due to the recent bug, I heard everyone's recommended to switch back to 0.7. My qt 0.8 client is currently "Synchronizing with the network." I want to help bitcoin and not hinder it - so is continuing to run 0.8 a problem? Should I uninstall it? Or does it not matter unless I'm mining - which I'm not doing?
You should upgrade to 0.8.1 when it comes out. This is a mining problem. Just don't do any transactions till the pools are back on 0.7 and you should be fine.
And what about business who cannot simply stop doing transaction ? Did they lost bitcoin and money ? You can't just do that ....The best thing you can do is not panic and hope you coins still have some value tomorrow.
