Bitcoin-Qt crashing on start-up (0.8 - Mac)

[Digikeys]

Hi All,

0.8 has been running fine on my iMac until I went to open it today. I get the start up splash screen and right after "loading wallet" I get "Bitcoin-Qt quit unexpectedly".

Debug.log:

Parts of the crash report that seem to be where the issue is:

I have re-installed the application, I've also moved the wallet out of the data directory to see if that was the problem and to see if it created a new one (new wallet, same error). Tried starting with -rescan as well.

Any help appreciated.

Try moving the contents data directory to a temporary location (like your desktop) then running the bitcoin-qt client.  If this works then some file in you data directory is corrupted.

P.S.  How do you show hidden folders on a mac so you can reach the bitcoin data directory?
P.P.S.  Where is the bitcoin data directory on a mac?

sudo chflags nohidden /path/to/directory if memory serves me and ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin.

Starts up fine with the data directory moved. I can't figure out which file(s) is corrupt so now I'm stuck re-synchronizing... blergh.

Thanks for your help all the same

I had the same problem and moved my data directory.  Now when I try to move my old wallet.dat file back to the new data directory it says my wallet is corrupt.

Where you able to get everything back as it was before??

Edit:

Nevermind, I fixed it.  I had to setup the client for an encrypted wallet.
