What is the default check level and check blocks for version 0.8.5 ? Is it the same as before? (which is? 3 / 288?)

Yes. I guess that the release notes would say something if this stuff was changed. In any case I restarted my daemon yesterday and these were the numbers used.

I feel bad for all those that now have to wait days for their machine to catch up to the block chain. Lips sealed

Yeah, i wonder why that is still not "fixed".

Now that I have upgraded to version 0.8.5, do I still need the "checklevel=2" line in my bitcoin.conf file?
Is it now safe to comment out or remove this line, or was its inclusion intended to be permanent?

You may remove checklevel=2 from your configuration.

When the PPA ver will be added? Huh

I am not sure how I can tell what version is being offered via the PPA.....
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, via the PPA. I got a 'corrupted database' error when starting up yesterday, which I thought was strange. I keep backups, and I restored the previous day's data but still got a problem running bitcoin qt. I then restored the data from a week ago, still problems. I ended up accepting a re index, and it seems ok now in the morning. I was getting curious as to why the backup data still apparently gave problems, but if a bug was the cause, then that explains it. I guess (??) tat the PPA has given me an update by now? The debug window states that the version is
satoshi v 0.8.4.0-g839c7d1-beta

This is not OK.

I've been updating each time, yesterday to 8.5, which appeared to work fine

Just restarted my machine (Due to a bloody forced windows update!) and bitcoin-qt stated the block chain was corrupt and needed re-indexing.

Doesn't seem right :/

Just got this message with Qt: "Corrupted Blockchain Detected do you want to rebuild". Advice please. TIA

Interesting. Installed the update and currently re-indexing; fingers crossed that will be the end of this issue. I'm on a PC running WB 7. According to other info I've received I should have never started re-indexing when the problem first occurred and just installed the 0.8.5 fix. Unfortunately, I did not learn of the fix until too late. Thanks for responding and hope all goes well for you.

Yes, it's still the old version for some reason.

I must have downloaded the updated wrongly.

But how come everything was working ok this morning?

My Bitcoin QT client has just "crashed" again. I used it this morning without any problems, went to open it up just now and it said something like "couldn't index the blocks" and "would I like to re-index the blockchain" just like it did earlier in the week when the bug originally surfaced.

Might I have done something wrong or is there another bug?

This report is a bit vague...

Was this on 0.8.5 (released less than 72 hours ago) or the previous version which didn't have the bugfix?

I was just about to upgrade but then I saw your post & panicked Sad

Edited to add:

Working on Win7x64. Thanks guys!

Same here...

Reindex ~~seems to be going normally.~~ has finished, and bitcoin-qt is now running normally.

@bitcoinchecker: I don't think your crash is happening for everyone / I wasn't able to reproduce during upgrade from 0.8.4 to 0.8.5

Shouldn't this thread be stickied instead of the 0.8.4 one?
