I attended one, and in the beginning was the poll whether it should be videoed. The consensus was negative. The presentations were based on public materials by Fluffypony, me and Thud. The discussion stays between the participants and the NSA.

Tell us more, whos idea was it to hold a meetup and a conference (forum search not working, can't bother to go through the last 100 pages, pretty sure it was Fluffy who suggested it)?
Who was the event organiser ?
Where did it take place, in a PUB ?
How many attended ?

You're not really making any effort so that anybody would like to tell you more, or tell you anything at all...

I was at the meetup in Brussels. It was an interesting evening, you may call it small by some standards but it was one of the largest ever Bitcoin/crypto meetups that took place there. Lots of positive feedback from the audience. You can check yourself and find the answers to your other questions here:
http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Brussels/events/221909098/
And here for Paris:
http://www.meetup.com/Paris-Bitcoin-Meetup/events/222290717/

Took me about 30s to find the links.

Come on, this is the first time I met this problem with Monero. I hope it will not be repeated...

You could try downloading the blockchain.bin from

http://getmonero.org/downloads/

that way you could test the theory regarding whether your blockchain.bin was corrupted.

edited to add: I also came into cryptocurrency from BOINC! I recently made a post about creating a BOINC / mining hybrid, so you can recieve cryptocurrency for performing BOINC. Like Gridcoin but not.

Without a database it is possible for the blockchain file to become corrupted, especially on Windows. If you want to avoid a resync or needing to download a new bootstrap it is a good idea to occasionally keep a local backup copy of blockchain.bin.

Dear GingerAle! It's Win7 x64, you are right.

Before today bitmonerod+simplewallet were starting OK. After a long period I decided to run it again and here is the issue I described above.

Nothing has changed it my starting .bat also:

Code:

@echo off

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq bitmonerod.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "bitmonerod.exe">NUL
if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
  echo Starting node...
  start bitmonerod.exe --data-dir E:\ProgramData\bitmonero\
) else (
  echo Node already started.
)

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq simplewallet.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "simplewallet.exe">NUL
if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
  if exist wallet.bin.keys (
   echo Starting previous wallet...
   start simplewallet.exe --wallet wallet.bin
  ) else (
   echo Starting new wallet...
   start simplewallet.exe --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin
  )
) else (
  echo Wallet already started.
)

pause

When I try to run bitmonerod as Administrator the error is the same as before:

I guess I should delete the monero blockchain and try to re-sync. And it seems that it works.

So the command prompt windows closing after these last error messages.

What is your advice for such case?

I suggest you use the webwallet (mymonero.com) until the next tagged version that is already much much better than the current one.

Based on "command prompt window closing" statement, I'm assuming your on Windows of some variety - knowing the OS here definitely helps.

Have you had success running bitmonerod before today, or is this your first attempt?

If your on windows, what happens if you run bitmonerod from the command prompt as admin? (right click on cmd.exe, run as administrator. make your way to c:/path/to/bitmonerod.exe, then run bitmonerd?)

Been a couple of weeks since I ran bitmonerod on win7. I tried 0.8.8.6 and 0.8.8.3 today and it seems my deamons won't connect with the network anymore. All I get is a constant stream of "incoming handshake, failed ....." I'm stuck at block 502068. Any ideas ?

just let it keep running. i get a lot of those too sometimes. and then a connection is made and stuff happens. I just think there's a lot of dead IPs on the lists or whatever. Compiling current head would definitely help you out for sure.

where can i use the 25 words so i can recover the old wallet thanks

You should be able to use simplewallet with "--restore-deterministic-wallet" and your seed. You can also log into MyMonero with those words, and it'll ask if you want to import old transactions (costs a few XMR though).
