Bitshares GUI Release v2.0.171009
We released this version early because of confusion with the account registration process. We now present the Cloud Wallet as the default login. In the past, we have referred to this as the Account Model, however, it's ambiguous using the word account to differentiate the two types of accounts considering both types have accounts in them. We also fixed a bug in the referral link that has been around for a long time but was only recently discovered. This failed to credit referrals if the URL contained a trailing /. In the process, we also discovered (but have not found the root cause), that our initial scan through nodes is buggy and can lead to a node not being selected the first time a new user arrives. A manual screen refresh seems to solve the problem most of the time. I have booked this as a critical bug so we hope to have it resolved by the regular 171015 release.

I think the change in wording is appropriate and will alleviate confusion. Great job @billbutler and crew for knocking out a ton of features, bugs, and requests lately.
Nice work!
Milestones after milestones, soon the wealth shall rise, soon the giant shall be seen!

thanks for sharing :D
Good call. I was cursing this last night trying to get my BTS off Bittrex. I ended up just transferring to my Mac Wallet instead of the ledger. Let me know if you want any UX feedback.
Your feedback would be appreciated. Please feel free to add your thoughts directly onto the BitShares GitHub page. https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/issues
Thanks for the update bill..can any steemians help me answer this question..i've downloaded the bitshares light wallet on a dedicated offline pc..but when i try to log in from a different pc or mac it doesn't recognize my password. Is this because the cloud based exchange/wallet is different than the light wallet and therefore i must create a new account for the cloud?? The site looks the same so i got confused..thank you for any help guys
Sounds like you are using the Wallet Model (Now know as the Local Wallet).
It will ask you for your password. Use the same password that you use in your Light Wallet.
Many thanks for the answer Bill..i appreciate you taking the time sir...cheers
