Sent a tx on mainnet, no crash, broadcasts well. The old crash was like a 1 out of 50 random event. Please use testnet and test many sends. |

None of the new builds can fix a database corrupted from an earlier version. Try running: /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -dbcache=1000 -reindex one time to reindex with the Bitcoin-OMG9 binary and let us know how it works out for you. I'm running on a similar setup to you and mactest1 did cause corruption for me but the recent OMG7-8-9 builds are running good for me now...so far. Tried it. Worked to open bitcoin-qt OMG9 one time. After I shut it down and opened it back up again I get the corruption error again. Can you join us in Freenode channel #bitcoin-dev? We need details from you to debug this issue. Please preserve a copy of the chainstate/ directory, compress it into a .tar.bz2 or .tar.xz archive and upload it to somewhere like Dropbox for the devs to analyze. |

Now I have applied both patches, Ill kill the power on litecoin-qt and see if it happens again.
I don't know what you mean by "both patches". |

Had another power cut last night before applying the patch. I have to get a ups.
Litecoin-qt was not running and it was fine.
Bitcoin-qt was running at the time and it had to re-index.
I've applied both patches, so Ill see how it goes.
Mac? You do your own builds? Please test my latest builds. It is hard to know if your test results are accurate if you use anything else. |

I just fired up my Virtual machine and poped my wallet.dat into a win build. Waiting for this DB sucks.
Why virtual machine? The latest builds here have zero reports of new database corruption on MacOS X. |

I jokingly suggested that theymos sell personal openvpn certs for paranoid users to access BitcoinTalk without any reliance on SSL. He's considering it.

I'm not sure spaming users with Bitcoin-OMG builds (what does that name mean anyway -_-) is the right thing to do. It's nice you are doing this, but IMHO you try to be too quickly perhaps and I'm also not sure all testers are understanding, what they are testing really...

Prior to this bounty, the Bitcoin OMG branch has brought useful, highly tested features to a relatively stable 0.8 Bitcoin branch. This bounty was a bit tumultuous in testing of various Mac patches and the discovery of another Mac-specific GUI crash in code that was completely stable on Linux and Windows. I agree the process has been confusing but I believe it has been fruitful in exploring multiple solutions to the important Mac corruption issue and unexpectedly finding and fixing other bugs that may be an issue in HEAD. |

Having always used Electrum I have never used Bitcoin-QT
I'm running 10.8.5 still. I could check for errors on a clean download of the block.
I did download 0.8.5.1-beta Litecoin-QT 2days ago and it seems to be fine.
Corruption of Bitcoin-Qt or Litecoin-Qt on MacOS X 10.8+ seems to be rare, affecting only particular machines for reasons we do not understand. |

The forum got hacked yesterday and the dns changes don't apply for everyone at the same time. Give it some time.
Please be precise. The forum itself was not hacked. The DNS registrar was compromised and the domain was redirected to another server where there was the potential for a MITM to capture passwords and other personal information. If people are connecting directly to 109.201.133.195 with the expected SSL sha256 fingerprint below then they should theoretically be okay. 00 C3 93 1F D9 BF 4C 3E 22 78 4A 5F 64 F5 E7 5A B5 14 D9 3B BB 33 43 DC 2B 87 D4 8E F1 10 A7 30 |

Tried all of the above betas. Bitcoin-QT will start up and I can use it UNLESS it is connected to the internet. Soon as it finds Peers, Boom I get a force close, and the error. Where do I go from here? I have a few thousand worth of BTC and I need to move it.
These builds with hypothetical Mac fixes will not fix an already corrupted database. Please consider using -reindex. Use 0.8.5-OMG7-no-mmap2 for now. New builds coming soon. |

So this boils down to mmap() is just broken on OS X? Wow. Just wow.

It might be too late for this particular PSA. In the future critical PSA's could be subject to competitive bidding without the forum setting a price.
