Title: Bitcoin-Qt Post by: braveheart on December 08, 2015, 02:53:58 PM what is the latest version of Bitcoin-Qt that will work with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard)?
I have v0.8.5 beta installed, I tried to update to 0.11 but it won't run on my mac. Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt Post by: achow101 on December 08, 2015, 03:16:20 PM They should all work. Use 0.11.2, it's the latest.

I have v0.8.5 beta installed, I tried to update to 0.11 but it won't run on my mac. 0.10.x was supposed to support 10.6, but I haven't tried it to verify that it does. After 0.10.x (e.g. into the 0.11.x and higher) OS X 10.6.x support was to be dropped. edit: see this: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/5797 0.10.3 is here: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.10.3 Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt Post by: braveheart on December 08, 2015, 03:33:07 PM what is the latest version of Bitcoin-Qt that will work with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard)?

It's starting to look complicated if it doesn't work Out Of The Box. Its just taken me literally weeks to get the blockchain up to date. I don't really want to go through all that again. Is there any problems with staying on 0.8.5 beta ? What would you advise ? Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt Post by: cr1776 on December 08, 2015, 03:46:45 PM 0.10.3 should work out of the box.
But, I would at least go to 0.8.6 since it had some specific OS X fixes, iirc. Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt Post by: braveheart on December 08, 2015, 05:56:09 PM 0.10.3 should work out of the box.

Do you have to redownload all the blockchain again ? Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt Post by: cr1776 on December 08, 2015, 07:07:37 PM If you have the 0.8.5 beta blockchain, it should be fine.
Definitely think about 0.10.3 though if you can. At some point you'll want to do so. Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt Post by: Decoded on December 10, 2015, 01:08:18 AM Bitcoin-qt works on mac, if i remember correctly (I don't use mac). I personally use online wallets, like coinbase and blockchain.
Just use Bootcamp or Wine. They work well. |
