Bah, I forgot to code-sign the Windows .exe. Expect an updated .exe and SHASUMS soon.
...You know better, and that's just down-right fishy. With your position in this community, that is just inappropriate and unacceptable. Yay to speak freely

Upgraded from working 0.8.5 on OS X 10.7.5. on MacBook Pro 8.3. New 0.8.6 crashes upon init - first and every time. Downgrade back to 0.8.5 now has same failure upon init: ... Assertion failed: (pfork != NULL), function SetBestChain, file src/main.cpp, line 1759. ...
Opened incident on github, included entire Mac "Problem Report for Bitcoin-QT". Is there any additional info I might provide to the devs? In the meantime, what can I try to restore operation?

You will want to be using the latest version on OSX, it resolves several problems on that platform. Try restarting the new client with the rebuild database index option and let it process, by running this command from the terminal: $ open /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app --args -reindex

Ok, This is embarrassing to ask but since I'm not seeing anyone else ask I'm just gonna. I'm afraid that if I upgrade I will lose my wallet addresses. That's why I've never upgraded Bitcoin-QT, I'm still running version 0.8.3. Am I just being unreasonable, or should I back up first? I've got a Mac.

Lol no But you better be encrypted and backed up anyway. You really need to be updated. Policies change. And an older one almost forked us.

Answered my own question I think: wallet.dat is in the users/library/... folder so it won't be affected by the drag and drop of Bitcoin-QT.

Haha! That was seamless. I'm an idiot for never updating!

one negative issue with Bitcoin-Qt v0.8.6 client, it takes more than 8 hours to sync the client with network on 120Mb/s connection, slightly very long process, I think the reason behind the data is based one server instead of several geo locations.

Look at your cpu usage while downloading, especially after reaching the "20 weeks behind" point. You will see CPU being the bottleneck. Bitcoin verifies the ECDSA signatures in every transaction to ensure they are authorized payments, only better CPU or code optimizations will really improve this. Verifying an ECDSA signature takes about 3 ms. Let's say the typical transaction has 2 inputs. Each transaction is verified twice, once alone and once in a block. (12 ms)

I noticed that last weeks of sync taking more time and the software using almost 2GB of RAM.

Wot??? Are you sending this message from 1990? As long as your computer has a normal TCP/IP stack and can get on the Internet and run other Internet applications, Bitcoin should work.

Can Bitcoin wallet support other coins like litecoin or Gogecoin at same time? As you know there are so many coins now.
If it does not support other coins, do you have any plan for it?
Or if no plan, is there another project that is working on a wallet that supports multiple coins?
Regards Anlongsun
