Title: Bitcoin-QT client is a pain in the ass again Post by: giveBTCpls on December 25, 2013, 05:08:44 PM "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade"
Im stuck 2 weeks behind and the blocks aren't updating. I have 8 active connections but nothing happens. I refuse to delete the blockchain and download the entire thnig again (it took me 2 days and this was 2 months ago). I also refuse to use anything that isnt the original client for safety purposes. What can I do? Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT client is a pain the ass again Post by: CoinCidental on December 25, 2013, 05:12:27 PM "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct!

What can I do? downliad the torrent bootstrap its way faster ,it will max out your connection speed for most of the blockchain and you should have it in 3 hours on fast broadband Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT client is a pain the ass again Post by: giveBTCpls on December 25, 2013, 05:21:56 PM "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct!

What can I do? What version number do you have? Do you have lots of disk space? Are you willing to run a Linux system in Oracle's VirtualBox? What is your IP address?

I just updated to 0.8.6 and I have enough space. Why should I run it throught Linux on Virtualbox? Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT client is a pain in the ass again Post by: ProfMac on December 25, 2013, 05:34:47 PM I installed a new client in a virtual machine. The first time I ran it, I had it connect to my old client only, and it built the blockchain locally. This was pretty fast.
You may also be able to copy your existing blockchain to your new installation, and re-scan the blocks in place without needing to do any net access.

Why should I run it throught Linux on Virtualbox? To do an addnode on your address, and see if it connects, any other diagnostic stuff that might be available. That makes me think I should ask, are you running onlynet=tor? Are you concerned that software that tries to connect to a large number of random addresses and shares it's own address with them, and cryptographically checks anything sent to it needs to be kept secret? You might also run the following command and look at your results. I appear to be running 0.8.6 also. Code: $ bitcoind getinfo |
