Hi all,

I just tried to start up my qt client for the first time in a couple of weeks, after some hours of downloading the block it's now giving me the message "failed to write block" and it then closes the application. This is the latest version of the client on ubuntu 13.04. And actually I just want to get my coins into electrum because I'm tired of all the blockchain downloading business. any ideas?
Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Maybe just try to update/reinstall client first without deleting database in .bitcoin folder (%Appdata%).

Thanks for the suggestion but I ended up solving it in another way. I had another computer with an updated block chain, so I just took the wallet off the computer which had the problem and put it onto the computer which was working. Finally I sent the coins over to the electrum wallet as I wanted.
