If you use Bitcoin Core, then this poll matters to you:

Bitcoin Core users can vote about a change in Bitcoin Core!


(I posted this to the Bitcoin Core update thread because it would directly affect Bitcoin Core users.)

Could someone help out please?

When I start bitcoin core, I get "error opening block database, Do you want to rebuild the block database now?"  If I press "OK", I get "error opening block database"

What can I do to get my wallet working again?

Thanks.

Manually Delete then re-download the block chain.
It should be in .bitcoin folder in your user app data folder(%appdata%).
Your location may vary depending on the version of windoze you run.

You really should've created a new topic, You revived a dead thread.

thank you for your reply.  It's sorted out. I had to reinstall. But It's all good.

I closed and restarted it and it seems fine. I think it was definitely downloading the first time because my network was going crazy.

Those coins are still missing for me, and the addy only showed up on the blockchain after sending it some dust. Anything else I should try before writing off these coins? Anyone have ANY idea how this could happen?

what about old versions like 0.8.6 etc also compromised ?

Maybe. In any case you should upgrade it to 0.9.1. I never upgrade to 0.9.0, I've waited feedbacks, then this Heartbleed bug found. Then I upgrade it from 0.8.6 to 0.9.1 and I have no problem at all.

........

When the ppa version will be ready?  Angry
Never, it's not affected (although your OS probably is...)

"Never" took only 10 days which is good result IMO.
0.9.1 available now at Ubuntu PPA.

Big thank you for Matt Corallo and “Bitcoin” team
and Happy Easter everyone.

Dam I'm still using 8.6 QT. It seems like there needs to be constant updates. What if one were to take a break from bitcoin for 5 years? There has to be a better way to not have vulnerable wallets during this time.

If you aren't using Bitcoin you wouldn't be vulnerable.  When you decide to start using Bitcoin after your five year break you would download and install the current software.

I am not using bicoin-qt but i installed it and using multibit. It is necessary to update it or uninstall it?

If you don't use it you should be fine.

Quick guide for Ubuntu

1. Download https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz
2. Open file, then click 'Extract'-button. Extract the files in your home folder.
3. Open terminal, enter:

Code:
sudo cp ~/bitcoin-0.9.1-linux/bin/64/bitcoin-qt /usr/bin  #(or 32 instead of 64 if you have 32-bit Ubuntu)

Done.

EDIT: Also, are the cold addresses generated from bitaddress.org safe? Most of my cold Bitcoins are stored on addresses (with their keys) generated from bitaddress.org (i.e. the "Bulk Wallet" option)

Verifying the SHA1 checksum of the bitaddress.org HTML that you download locally is the way to be sure you are safe.

I have 0.9.1 version now, does it mean I'm safe?
Do I also have to delete my previous version?
