Title: Bitcoin-QT crashes when any bitcoin.conf file exists Post by: jlp on January 20, 2014, 02:34:06 AM I am running Bitcoin-QT v0.8.6 on my Mac OSX 10.6.8.
If I do not have the bitcoin.conf file in the Library/Application Support/Bitcoin folder, then Bitcoin-QT will launch successfully. However, if I do have the bitcoin.conf file, even if it is empty or if all of the lines are commented out, Bitcoin-QT will not launch. Instead, the Mac shows a pop-up that states: "Bitcoin-QT quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically. Problem Details and System Configuration data" If I rename or delete the bitcoin.conf file, then Bitcoin-QT launches successfully. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this or get past this?

Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT crashes when any bitcoin.conf file exists Post by: jlp on January 20, 2014, 11:08:30 PM Well, what are those "Problem Details"? The problem details are shown by the Mac OSX as it does with any other application that crashes. It contains a lot of system data. I don't know if some of it opens up my system to hackers, especially the "threads" and "binary images", by publishing it to the public. Below is the "problem details" but I removed some of the data, especially the "threads" and "binary images". Have you been able to debug these crashes on a Mac by looking at this data? If so, let me know if you need the "threads" and "binary images" and I'll research into whether this data is sensitive/private or not and then I'll send it you. However, if you have a Mac, you should be able to reproduce this problem, as others have, by launching Bitcoin-QT with the bitcoin.conf file in your Library/Application Support/Bitcoin folder. When you reproduce the problem, your Mac will show you your "Problem Details". Thanks.

TextEdit tends to save files in rich-text format. After I changed it to plain text format, problem is solved.
