Sorry, but Win10 is way more of a "security risk" than a well maintained and firewalled XP system, but Win10 still gets support so go figure...

What about win7?

Going to try 0.12.1 and see if it has the same crash syndrome, hopefully not.

0.12.1 will probably have the same problem because no solution was written and included in Bitcoin Core.

Perfect, that is exactly my issue. Thanks for sharing the link, I'll follow that and see what develops. There are still so many XP users out there that it would be a shame if bitcoin core was not longer able to be run on it.

If I were a core developer I wouldn't care about any people using Windows XP and reporting problems. Sorry but XP is a security risk from my pov and EOL since nearly 2 Years!
For some people hard but the truth...

I've never had an issue with the new version. I used to get my blockchain corrupted in the past for some reason, now it's never happened again. It boots so much faster too. Probably the best release yet.

I want to know what is the best -dbcache to use depending on your ram tho, to see if I can make it sync faster.

It's an older computer I built years ago, still runs XP. The OS could be an issue, but I doubt the hardware is (decent proc, plenty of RAM and hd space). One of these days I'll get around to building a new machine. I also need to turn my old laptop into a Linux machine, that would be the one to run my node ideally I think. But in the mean time I would love some ideas what was changed in 0.12 that now makes it unusable on my computer.

The problem is XP. There are known problems with 0.12 with XP. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7674 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7639. However i don't think it will be fixed since XP support from Microsoft has ended and thus fixing an XP only problem is not worth it to the core devs. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681 for the discussion about that.

So no one else experienced the "0.12.0 won't start up" problem like I have? It's a weird issue that only affects 0.12 and I can't understand it.

So I am still running 0.11.2, and I minimized it to the taskbar, however the taskbar icon disappeared and now I cannot bring core up. bitcoin-qt.exe is still running per my task manager, and my node is still up per bitnodes, but I guess I'll just have to wait for the program to crash (like it always does) before I can get the gui up again.

You should probably take this to another thread.

Anyways, what OS are you using and what are the specs of your system?

Happened to me too just yesterday. Core crashed and I booted it back up and had a corrupted database, so I told it to rebuild and it crashed again. Then it wouldn't get past the loading screen without crashing, so I deleted everything in my \Bitcoin\ directory and reinstalled Core 0.12 and the same thing kept happening, crash at the loading screen. I tried installing my \Bitcoin\ directory on another physical drive and still same thing happened. After deleting and reinstalling about 5 times it finally booted up and started syncing again. I think this is my computer telling me it's too old for this sh.t any more.

So v0.12 is a total bust for me. It crashed once more and I cannot get it to start up no matter what. It sometimes makes it to "checking addresses" on the loading screen, but never any further. Sometimes it crashes as soon as the loading screen appears. I went back to 0.11.2 and it loads just find so it is a bug specific to 0.12.

Here are a few of my logs from the crashes, you can see the program just stops with no indication of any sort of error.

Having issues with my 0.12 node Sad

It shut itself down during the night, just booted it up now and it says the block database is corrupted... It's checking blocks now, let's see how this goes. Wierd that this happened after updating and not right away, still trying to figure out what's happening.

Happened to me too just yesterday. Core crashed and I booted it back up and had a corrupted database, so I told it to rebuild and it crashed again. Then it wouldn't get past the loading screen without crashing, so I deleted everything in my \Bitcoin\ directory and reinstalled Core 0.12 and the same thing kept happening, crash at the loading screen. I tried installing my \Bitcoin\ directory on another physical drive and still same thing happened. After deleting and reinstalling about 5 times it finally booted up and started syncing again. I think this is my computer telling me it's too old for this sh.t any more.

beware anyone and dont delete the wallet.dat because this is that keep your bitcoins

we have the maxmempool setting.

With 0.11.2 I was getting what seemed to be a fragmented heap after running for weeks non-stop with a high number of connections. The workaround was a weekly restart. Let's see if this problem is fixed.

It is really a great improvement and i love this core version with advanced new features as well. i aould suggest for ever one to use it and tell if anything more is needed for more better options for all users. I am going to like it so far.

edit.... why there is still not the digital sign for the exe? it's not good when i click on the exe and it say that is not safe, it can discourage newbie...

digital sign cost like hundred dollars, not so much

Not sure what you mean that it isn't signed. It looks signed to me.

the exe is not signed, try to launch it in widnows and you will see the usual alert message

also, to enable pruning i must remove the blockchain data first? i thought when enabling it he just delete all data if MB = 0

The installer (under windows 64 bit) is digital signed, and to enable pruning it will auto prune when it loads and re syncs, just make sure you have your wallet.dat file loaded first, if you don't you will have to re-download/re sync to match your wallets txid's <.. and need to keep the wallet.dat file loaded all time while in pruning mode.
