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?

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.

You should upgrade to 0.8.1 when it comes out.

I know this because Tyler knows this.
