Started getting that I/O error again and wallet crashes even when fully synced. It was stable for several hours and then crashed again this afternoon.

Then upon trying to open the wallet again I see 'Cannot bind system to 0.0.0.0:20000 bitcoin is probably already running'

as well as

'Failed to listen on any port, use -listen=0 if you want this'

Yup!

she sure is a flaky one

I gave up on the last wallet since it was still empty and i couldn't seem to get past 4 weeks left when syncing without some corruption and having to start over again.

So, I deleted the wallet.dat and started fresh with a new one and am synced and had 0 issues with a fresh wallet file.

Weird lol.

ive tried opening this wallet a dozen or more times.

i tried emptying the .conf file - no joy

tried 3 recommended nodes - no joy

i even restarted my machine with nothing else running and still 'is not responding' half a dozen more times...

stating the cause is RAM is misleading i think as I have 4 gigs of RAM & many other wallets use similar/more RAM and more proccesor power than offerings (LTC/BLK/IXC) and yet they open first time (albeit slowly)?

This issue has nothing to do with your system itself or memory. It's something in the source code itself causing this although I am not the one to look to as pinpointing it or fixing it.

Anyhow, I'm almost synced after 3 days of restarting the wallet over and over and over, but alas it is almost done.

I did however see a couple other errors during this process of reopening the wallet after it crashes.

I got an error last night that read something to the effect of 'Cannot bind system to 0.0.0.0:20000, bitcoin is probably already running'

Now that error tells me that there is an issue in the code, if nothing else, it shouldn't read 'bitcoin' upon having an error since we aren't dealing with bitcoin here.

Anyhow, fun stuff!

Even if wallet says - "DB I/O Error" - wait for a coupl of minutes and run it again. Last week I`ve done it this way.
The wallet may crush again anf again, but you have to wait for a couple of minutes and try again.
IMHO, it happens then your system do not have enough RAM. So may be closing all the other programs (mozilla, google chrome, skype,icq and so on) will help you.

my experience;

type connect=144.76.91.109:20000 in the offering.conf file

that got me from 90 weeks to 4

then it I/O Error'd me & couldnt get the wallet to open a dozen times.

removed connect=144.76.91.109:20000 from offering.conf

restarted the wallet and it finished syncing.

good luck & let us know if it works out

I got about 30 weeks in and then after one of those errors the blockchain file corrupted and had to start all over. Keeps crashing though again after rebuilding block data.

struggling here - down to 4 weeks from 90, now she wont even open!

i tried connect= that got me to 4 weeks. now if/when it opens it has I/O error immediately.

i tried using the zipped blockchain - failed to open.

I have the same issue....

from debug log....

Its kinda random. Sometimes it does this immediately, sometimes i can download many blocks before it occurs. Currently my wallet is downloading blocks but I still have a ways to go.

I'm trying to sync the wallet but I keep getting an database I/O error, anyone else run into that issue? I've deleted everything and started over a couple times but I run into the same issue.

Try connect=[pick one node from http://cthulhu.tk/#nodes] in Offering.conf so wallet connects only to one particular node, it always helped me. If you are syncing from scratch you can use zipped blockchain to speed it up https://www.dropbox.com/s/btxh91yqs9trhek/Offerings-blockchain-20150208.7z?dl=0

INSERT COIN

The main dev Blazr2 I believe has gone into hiding Roll Eyes

The website is still up though and there's an IRC tipbot running in ##offerings @ Freenode.
