strange. Can anyone else reproduce this? I just tried with 1v48 for the website and it works fine.
However
What Dorantor is seeing might be to do with the fact that it's plugged into a PC. Could you try just plugging into a USB wall socket? (or even just starting a terminal app).
The problem is this: When Espruino isn't plugged into a computer, it knows and every time it wants to write something to the console (like the welcome message) it just throws it away because it knows nobody is listening.
However when you're plugged into a computer it knows it is connected, and it waits patiently trying to send data but because there is no terminal app open on the computer, the computer isn't accepting it.
It's a bit difficult, because in some cases it would be really annoying if Espruino just 'lost' data that you'd tried to output. I'll try and tweak it so that at least the welcome message doesn't stop it from working.
