Excuse me my ignorance, but is there any reason at all to run WinXP these days? Have you looked into running a linux distro? No offence meant.

I understand, too, that winxp is not supported and depreciated. Grin

I think your problem might be related to the limited amount of memory 32-bit Windows'es are able to access. If you were on XP 64, I'd tell you to stick with it and not downgrade your PC to 7Garbage or the 8th Abomination. Microsoft having stopped releasing those useless "security" patches that never protected anyone from anything is irrelevant. Linux is an option, if you're willing to accept the learning curve and live with the fact that you'll be missing on many Windows programs, even with WINE.

I have a dedicated device to this ... it run many other "softwares from the old world".
I don't want change the OS (that it don't crash after 60 days ... and the others software, too) because of the bitcoin core.

That why i return to the v0.9.1 ... that it don't crash at all. Wink

But, not a problem for me ... just an "under the hood" problem for the others (the dev.).
I understand, too, that winxp is not supported and depreciated. Grin

It's the life. Wink

I really don't have experience with those offline wallets but if somehow my PC get burned or something & I can't fix .. does it mean I will lose all my bitcoins unless I took a backup ? if yes how to take a backup

If you're using the GUI: File->Backup Wallet...

If you're using bitcoind: use the backupwallet RPC command.

Shutdown bitcoin core. Then find wallet.dat, and copy it to a usb drive or two, store those at the office or another location you see fit. Make sure you've sett a passphrase on the wallet. Also realize that once you do transactions, change might be sent to new addresses in the wallet, requiring you to do a new backup.

So each time I use my bitcoins (Send/receive) I have to take new backup of wallet.dat ? should I use Export & Import options or just find the file manually on directory ?

Every 50 transactions or so is the recommendation. You can use the export in the program or do it manually. If you do it manually shut it down first.

I like the CoinControl feature. BTW I synced from start and during the process bitcoin-qt crashed about 5 times (about once per 8 hours). Only two times out of five at the end of log was error (10091): closesocket(hListenSocket) failed with error WSAStartup

The other cases no error at the end of log...

yes ... after the block 0184 ... the v9.3 crash like the 0.9.2.1 (no debuglog entries to indicate the problem) on my WInXP SP3 with all KBs. Sad

rollback to 0.9.1 (with reindex command line to check the block folder and rev files). Undecided

No problems at all with XP 64 SP2 (FX-8350, 16 GB RAM).

I have a question about creating raw transactions.

If you are not spending the entire amount and don't want all of the change to go to the miners how do you tell QT how much change you want back and where to send it?

Here is an example from the testnet:

createrawtransaction '[{"txid":"483d3ddb086a5be6bdcccb4712bf7d84451af6a2a980c918e1d68eb0eec22725","vout":0,"scriptPubKey":"a914cf0d767ae8d9125b7d843112f8b8c07b333d4ac887","redeemScript":"5321034bdd619568d26a20d00a50e7c351f596c42e148cfdb099e317b2e2c553e1345d210230fd7 1e63947197589e706c2e0fb6aa05eae20fee2f92c2ffdacef252ea6afb52103ef21373b0a9e89bc f2a4e8481516c4849080a4d1f62b1b532445e5def3a4755d53ae"}]' '{"mxiuyocweZ6rPsLrGaR8wgsafHXnTcRBhU":0.05}'

EDIT: After doing some more homework I realize I have a lot more homework....

What are the upgrades that have been added in the latest version ? Also why there hasn't been a major release yet, only minor upgrades ?

I installed it.!! it would take around a day or two to get in sync.!! uninstalled it.!! :/

If you use the method where you download the torrent, you should be good to go in a rather short amount of time if you have a good network connection.

Check here: https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/

On the other hand, if you plan on using this program, then you will most likely have it running, so the initial download will only be an annoyance at the very start.
