Topic: Bitcoind switches off with no reason (Read 1098 times)

Do you have enough empty space in your drive. The blockchain takes upto 25 gig and if you think that's your wallet just move
your wallet.dat file to someplace else and see if that works or not.

8GB.  I found out that removing blocks helped a bit... it started to download ~32000 blocks and next stops. Next i found out that removing my old wallet file helped. Now I have to wait for new blockchain :/. I am not sure if it was the cause, but maybe there was a problem with wallet.dat.

How much memory does your machine have?

Hi!

I have just downloaded new version of Bitcoin. It starts, but after 3-5 secs disappear from the process list. Bitcoin-cli getinfo says that it couldnt connect to server.

I get following debug info at testing server:

And after that bitcoind just kills itself.
What is the problem?
