Snailbrain, have you tried having a chat with rsnel about the daemon/merge mining crash? He's pretty clued up on the whole thing.....

Yes, I got the crash logs. Other developers were faster than me. Crash seems to be related to non-thread safity in the JSON IO library.
Nice one rsnel, thanks for the reply

Peace

Rsnel can't you please explain why the client is so slow during downloads? And when we play the game?
I ran the client in the debug mode of Qt Creator and I could see that the interface freezes during
AcceptToMemoryPool
askfor tx
askfor block
received block
etc.
Snailbrain says it is because of the "reorgs" during downloads of blocks. Domob did a patch, but I am too far behind to actually get the client working (need to download the blockchain).
Domob's patch is here:
