No. I did not uninstall it. Should I have?

All right, got it backed up and deleting the "blk..." files seemed to get it going. It should only take a week or two to download the whole quarter of a million blocks again. Hopefully, it will work.

Thanks.

I did find them and deleted them. The problem persists.

I will definitely try all these options.

I did attempt to back up the wallet under File>Backup Wallet. All I got was a text file full of gibberish.

I don't know where the blockchain is located in Ubuntu. Not a clue.

I didn't know that 11.10 ever was supported. It sucks and I hate it, but it's the best I can get in my price range.

I also cannot find the peers.dat or .lock files.

I'm just an operator, and I don't know anything about what's under the hood. Most of these suggestions, while very much appreciated, are way over my head. :0/

How do I do that?

Also, I've tried downloading a newer version, but it doesn't seem to work (or I don't know how to make it work).

"Leaking" memory? What does that even mean?
What I really need to know is: how do I get my Bitcoins out of there?

I don't see how that could be. I have 275 GB of free space. But if that is the problem, how can I fix it?

My Bitcoin "wallet" application has suddenly stopped working. I get an error that reads:


This program uses Qt version 4.7.4.

Operating system is Ubuntu 11.10

Ah, that must be the problem. I thought MoneyGram and Western Union were the same thing. I believe I used MoneyGram before.

But how do I send it to them? The guy at the store says he needs a city code and Zipzap doesn't provide one.

I'm trying to buy Bitcoins at Bitinstant, but they want me to use some system called ZipZap. I've never even heard of it and neither has anyone else. I bought through Bitinstant once before and I used Western Union and everything was fine.

I've tried contacting the people at Bitinstant, but they ignore me.
