to the dev's that are subbed to this thread.

Looks like my problem had something to do with permissions within my bitcoin-qt folder. I needed to take over the chainstate folder and one other folder.

I wish I knew the exact commands that helped me but I've closed the IRC chat client.

Bitcoin-QT now launches normally after power cycles and normal shut downs and restarts of the app.

Thanks again for the help!

I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this post but I've been wondering for a while.  The first and only client I downloaded and continue to use is 0.8.1-beta.  I see that sometimes people don't have to pay for transactions, how do they do that? do I need an updated client?

I also notice that sometimes it says I have to pay a transaction fee of (for instance .0005) and then I confirm I still want to send and it ends up taking less for the transaction fee.  Can anyone advise? thanks

bitcoin-qt 0.8.5 on my mac book pro crashes EVERYTIME I open it. I have to rebuild the data base whenever I want to use the program.

I've tried the "checklevel=2" fix and it doesnt work.

rebuilding the DB takes several hours and the computer runs REALLY hot while its doing it.
Try using one of the test builds that have been made in an attempt to fix this:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3718821

Tried them, both crash with the same corrupt database error. I cant re-index right now because I dont have my power adapter. I'll do it tomorrow and retry

Posted my results into that thread. Thanks for the pointer!

I read somewhere that synchronizing the blockchain would go faster in this release.
It however still takes a lot of time, even after already having downloaded and imported the 9GB torrent file discussed here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-blockchain-data-torrent-145386

You can still receive coins automatically without any extra work.

You can use your original address or generate another one (I use different addresses depending on why I received the money)

You will need to supply your wallet passphrase when you send coins

Fees are paid by the sender, not the receiver.

Hello guys I have a couple of questions about Bitcoin-QT. When I originally installed the program I did not encrypt the wallet. I bought some bitcoin (small amount) and received it using the "generate address button". My question is now that I have encrypt it can I still use the button to generate a address or do I have to use the original one I created. Also if some one sends me bitcoin to my encrypted wallet will it need the passphrase to accept or will it just accept automatically like the first time (after the confirmations)?....one last questions will there be any fees charged to me if I receive like 5+ bitcoins?

7 days?  Jezus, you want to be complaining about your ISP before the blockchain dude;  I did a fresh install last night in what can't have been more than 8 hours, probably a lot less, I wasn't paying close attention.

Why bother? They will release a new version by then anyway.
And soon you will need an ASIC to keep up. Wink
