0.007/BTC is very unsustainable when some bitcoin businesses have tens of thousands of CLAM and some will dump them on exchanges.

What price will we see when dooglus leaves CLAM and start just-dice with Bitcoin?

   Is somebody looking for cheap clams?   Wink   And Douglus has already said several times he will not be going back to bitcoin.

Can't the newer versions of clamd generate their own bootstrap file? I have a complete and valid blockchain db here, but it's apparently useless to the new version!

Does the upgrade require a REINDEX (local thrashing of HD to rebuild index) or a RESYNC (complete download of blockchain via the internets) ?

Just a reindex.

What makes you think it is redownloading the data rather than just reindexing it?

It really shouldn't be, unless for some reason it's using a different data directory.

- Length of time; it's been going for 12 hours, and it's only up to block 115670
- 650k+ lines in debug.log (from current run) referring to orphan blocks
- Many peers are showing large numbers for bytesrecv, tens or hundreds of megabytes worth of data
- Not sure if the txleveldb directory contents vary from install to install, but on the one which I upgraded, at block 5000 or so it was far smaller than my other install

Data was added to the chain for the extra data added to getinfo, regarding the currently "dug" money supply.

Either will solve the problem, a re-index is fine if you already have the chain; and in fact, the client should have advised you to reindex via prompt.

I'm using the headless clamd.

Error loading block index database : try running with -reindex

Did as instructed...

I've just downloaded (via github) and compiled v1.4.7.0-unk; initial run dies and advises to try -reindex, but redoing with that switch seems to have deleted the db, and it's now syncing from scratch via peers. Is this normal?

edit: I note that the OP mentions "Requires resync/reindex" for the CLAMspeech client, but that seems ambiguous, since resyncing and reindexing are two quite different things...

It depends what version you were running before. If it was anything from the last couple of months it shouldn't have asked you to reindex. Even if it did, it shouldn't need to redownload anything, just reindex it, so I've no idea what went wrong there.

I was running a pre-clamSPEECH version, identified as v1.4.3.0-g32a928e, so I expected to have to reindex... but not sync from scratch.

I've had some (bad) experiences with Bitcoin-QT where it pops up a dialog informing me that the database is corrupt, and would I like to rebuild it - except that 'rebuild' means a sync from scratch. Perhaps this is the same sort of thing which is happening with the headless clamd.

Incidentally, see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9772191 for a bootstrap.dat file that will let you download the blockchain quicker than getting it from the p2p network.

I've tagged a new release now, v1.4.7, which will identify itself correctly.

I'm starting to see it show up on my nodes already:
