I would not worry about the padding file messages as they werer evident on the Highlander releases and did not create a problem. Bitcomet is simply trying to get you to upgrade and use Bitcomet. I do not like the new version (Bitvomet) therefore I will not upgrade.
As for Hiphats? I am confused as to how you are involved in this release? We are really thankful that you have a desire to get a single layer out to everyone but lets see how well the dual layer goes over first.
Thanks
Thanks All!
