Bitcoin developers and their counterparts backing the younger, rival virtual currency Litecoin have thrown together a virtual bounty worth around $10,000 for anyone who can figure out what's causing a data corruption issue in certain Bitcoin and Litecoin wallets on Macs.

s some first noted several months ago, the introduction of the LevelDB key store database into the Bitcoin-qt client versions 0.8.x (currently at 0.8.5) coincided with a data corruption bug affecting Bitcoin users on Mac OS X machines.

It seems Apple does all possible to keep bitcoin away from their products.

It seems to be on it's way to being fixed (the developers have been on the right track for days now, it's to do with the way the OSX based compiler interprets the code in the libraries Bitcoin uses for it's database storage) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=337294.msg3745372#msg3745372

The crypto and security on the i-products are top-notch, too bad wallets can't make use of that.

I would never trust a Mac to have any of my Bitcoins.

It seems to me Apple didn't do anything , and the problems are on this side of the bridge.
