Title: Bitcoin-qt Wallet for OS X -- Blockchain error
Post by: monkeybars on July 08, 2013, 10:19:12 PM
I tend to keep my Bitcoin-qt software open all the time because I want to be a node and help out transactions in a small way.

But lately when I shut down OS X with the wallet open and I start back up, I get a message that there's an error in the blockchain, and it has to download the whole thing again. It doesn't affect me much other than using a little bandwidth, but it's slightly worrying. Does anyone have an idea why it's happening?

Thanks yall

I had the same problem on a Windows OS after closing down the client, it's the first time I've seen the error.

Thanks, that sounds like it. I had looked around on github for this error but missed it.
