Any details on the error? E.g. the exact message or something in the debug.log that might help?

the problem is this error destroy the wallet.dat make i corrupt. only way is to save from time to time, and when error comes, shut down client. overwrite corrupt wallet.dat with the backup and continue. but this sucks all 10 minutes

It should not be corrupting the wallet.dat file.

The problem is that you have corrupt blocks on the disk somehow. Delete everything in the data directory except for the wallet file and allow everything to resync. That should fix the problem.

No the wallet.dat is fine, its the local block database that is corrupted. It will reindex the next time you start. If not you can force it by launching with -reindex.

I just updated to 0.11.1 and can not confirm the error. I would assume that downgrading to 0.11.0 does not help you.

Its here however -> https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.0/

what do you mean reindex? my english is not the best, haha   don't know what the best thing is what i can do now?


i can't restart the client so this mean wallet.dat is dead. only when i overwrite it with with the backup it works

and the 11.0 download link i don't know there is no dmg files for mac

i try it with -reindex. into the console right?

Depends.
1st close the current core session and make sure its closed.
For Linux you start a terminal and enter bitcoin-cli -reindex
Mac should be similar.
For Windows you open "run" by hitting Win + R, enter
c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -reindex
and confirm with ok.

He is using a mac, so OP use

Code:

bitcoin-qt -reindex

from the terminal to run Bitcoin core

Ever since 0.11 bitcoin core has been going down hill. Iv had to reindex so many times iv stopped running the node.

Maybe it's your hardware. Core is very hardware intensive, and if your hardware is failing, then core will be crashing a lot.
