Topic: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.5 released - page 3. (Read 19379 times)

Thanx i update my walet brother for news this

How many ram memory do I need to run this properly on linux? In case I don't have enough ram, is swap sufficient? Possibly how much ram combined with swap do I need at least?

yes its creating confusions many just trying to fix old one and as its set there is news that new version is ready its not a fair policy you must think about this 

Could you guys please stop releasing a new version every 3 days?
Soon there will be a new version before one had the chance to sync the old one.

updated to 0.8.5-beta
Thanks for fixing that critical bug!

If your CMOS battery, (usually CR2032) is not branded, I don't expect it to live more than 2 years. It's cheap enough to replace it and note the date somewhere (like a piece of paper taped to the side of the motherboard.)

Take note also, because sometimes instead of CR2032, you will find CR2016 which is thinner and has a shorter lifespan.

I have also had a weird thing where my clock was ~30 mins off. I don't know if it is related to bitcoin though. Bitcoin doesn't have access to set the system time I'm assuming.

I was having a strange problem with a brand new PC box where the bios battery would go dead in days.  I would try putting in a new battery and see if that helps.  Good luck.

Ever since I upgraded to 0.8.5 it periodically gives me an error complaining about the computer's time being off. In Windows 7 x64.

I keep the time sync'd through the internet, & even went to task manager & increased the sync interval from 1 week to daily & it still happens every 2 weeks or so.

I disabled the clock sync with my Blackberry too so there wouldn't be 2 time sources.

The BIOS battery is only 2 years old & shouldn't be dead yet.

And it didn't happen until I upgraded to this version.

All I have to do is shut it down & restart the client, but it's a problem nevertheless.

I hope it's fixed in 0.9.0.

So I upgraded both my main OS (OSX 10.9) and Ubuntu running on a virtual machine to 0.8.5 and downloaded bootstrap.dat torrent to import into the programs.

I went to do this on OSX first, the process took approx 3 days, which I thought nothing of, as my download for the same blockchain through the client will probably take longer than this. However, I just started importing bootstrap.dat into Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.5 in my Ubuntu VM, and it has done over 50% in less than 20 minutes!?

Anybody else experience anything like this? Anyone have any ideas about how/why this might happen?

I have a late 2012 iMac with 16GB ram and an i7 3770k (21.5"), if that will make any difference to anything... Also, if you didn't catch my OS is Mavericks (developer preview 8 I think), but sure I did the bootstrapping procedure with the previous torrent (~7GB, the one now is ~9.3GB) and it took just as long, but might be mistaken about that...

i will update now。

Thank you for this!

reverted to old version after

i have db5.1 installed, but dont care about wallet anything on this server

Well reindex doesn't solve anything, start the client with bitcoin-qt --args -checklevel=2

That will let you use it, or add the checklevel=2 in the .conf

I download this but crushing again and again every time when I want to login its need to redwonload what is wrong with this

if you installed by adding the PPA then just do a sudo apt-get update and a sudo apt-get upgrade and it will update the bitcoin-qt...

good work

When you first start it up you should see a box which says  "v0.8.5-beta"

When it is open (like in your screenshot above) you can check by clicking  "Help > About Bitcoin" and again it should say "v0.8.5-beta"

i don't know how to check what's the version of my Bitcoin-Qt (it's used for mac)

Yeah. This really sucks. Updated to 8.5 and now having to reindex.
