Im curious about which bootloader I have and if I need to worry about updating, Ive been trying out the nightly builds and its been more or less fine save a couple crashes while trying out the midi loopback stuff.
That said I'm pretty sure my unit is older and I'm wondering if I need to update the bootloader. Its a 7 seg unit

You can check your bootloader version yourself:
(via this page: https://github.com/SynthstromAudible/DelugeFirmware/wiki/Bootloader-precautions-for-%22numeric%22-Deluge-developers)
For what it's worth, I had the oldest possible bootloader and was fine (you just have to make sure the firmware file you're installing isn't 0kb or over 3mb, which wouldn't happen under normal circumstances anyway), but I updated it eventually just to be sure (and it was easy to do).
Crashes like what you've described wouldn't be related to the booloader---just bugs being worked out in the nightly builds.
copy that! thats good a couple of crashes made me question everything. but yeah it was mostly the midi loopback stuff it was having a hard time with.
The nightly builds are pretty bleeding-edge in some cases and are where the bugs/crashes get ironed out before features make it to a proper community release, but if you can reproduce any of the crashes you could always log the issue so the devs can take a look. Every bit of testing info is helpful!
