Title: bitcoin-0.8.3-macosx Database continuously corrupting Post by: e4xit on August 19, 2013, 10:21:52 AM Hi,
I am using bitcoin-0.8.3-macosx.dmg on a late 2012 iMac. I am experiencing an issue, where is see error "System Error: Database Corrupted" virtually on every startup now, which has rendered the program completely useless to me (and kinda locks me out of Armory, which is why i need QT in the first place...) I have tried downloading the blockchain about 3 times (took roughly 2 weeks :-[) and also downloaded bootstrap.dat and imported, which worked and allowedme to become fully synced with the network. Upon closing Bitcoin-Qt and restarting computer, reopening was instantly met with corruption notice again. I think I vaguely remember seeing Gavin Andresen post that the OSX bug is being worked on but is difficult to track down, so I am wondering a few things...
Thanks.

You could attempt to rename the 'blocks' and 'chainstate' folders inside of your "~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin" folder... this should get the program running again and at least attempting to re-download the blockchain. I had similar issues with a macbook I was using, I believe it was corrupting when the battery drained or when I closed the laptop without shutting down the bitcoin-qt application first.I have tried downloading the blockchain about 3 times (took roughly 2 weeks :-[) and also downloaded bootstrap.dat and imported, which worked and allowedme to become fully synced with the network.

But as soon as I close the application and re-open, it will become corrupted :(
