When I saw the pricing model I laughed and thought, someone's misunderstood what needs to be communicated and put up on the site. Then when I saw that it wasn't a joke I LOL'd hard. The pricing model is quite frankly ridiculous. I'm not paying the current prices so I can do some extended file sharing. And not many people will either. Your corporate reputation is screwed because of your bitcoin mining screw up and this is your pricing? Your marketing department should be fired now. They will later when you see how pitiful your sales are. Your USP is very small in a crowded established market and what you do is very overpriced and here's why: Take Lastpass. I can get Lastpass free for my laptop, works in my browser, offers a supremely good security product that's multiplatform and for $10 p/a I can get a WHOLE load of extra functionality and they continue to enhance the product with even more features - in fact a HUGE amount of extra functionality. But the $0 option is enough for many many users who can be secure without the premium version. Against that the free version of BTSync is not a very useful product and because it's a crippled version it has no value in most environments (I mean Airdrop is easier to use for Mac users and setting up shared file systems is a breeze - I can even put in file management at per file per user level if I want to and if I buy Mac Server for a one off $20 (or less I think) I have so much extra user functionality it is unreal). And the pro version is frankly something that if you want to sell into a commercial environment is up against products like Google's Drive and Docs/Sheets functionality which offers so so so much more (audit trails for one) for less than $5 a seat if you're happy to negotiate. Sorry but even at $10 a year I wouldn't look at it - other $10 subscription software offers so much more and I'd be asking myself what am I paying these guys to do and when will they drop in some bloatware or malware? $7 per version per user lifetime licence I'd buy. $35 p/a? Nope. Not going to happen. And Bittorrent is a protocol. $35 makes it very tempting to produce a competing product for a load of people. For example I use Transmission and I always will now. Because your reputation re malware stinks and I paid for it even tho I didn't need to because I pay for good honest product development and a product that shows design and functional excellence. I'm out until you find a price point that isn't so hilariously high and you produce a product that is at least stable. Sorry.

Isn't this functionality already implemented in 2.0.44.0? Just tested renaming and I can change the name of my Nexus 7 within the application using settings in the My Device pane. The name appears to propagate to other machines running BTSync v2 immediately. Cheers Ray
