Title: Bitcoin Qt - Blockchain often corrupting?
Post by: Boelens on September 14, 2013, 09:36:42 AM
Hey there. I think I'm on v. 0.8.4 now, as I recently updated. My blockchain keeps corrupting and I have to re-index it, which takes a bit and is annoying. I can't seem to find out what causes it, although I feel like it may have to with 'Malwarebytes - Anti Malware', a anti-virus program, because everytime I run that it corrupts. Could be pure coincidence though. Has anyone else had issues with this / knows a possible solution? Thanks a bunch in advance!

upgrade to 0.8.5, the need to reindex was a fault in 0.8.4 of the app.

To upgrade, do I need to just shut down the client and then download the new version?

Ah, okay, thanks!

Yes. That works for me.
