Should I just consider myself a malware victim or could something possibly happened during the update?

Did you encrypt your wallet using a secure password?
I used grc.com/password on all my wallets. Steve Gibson's algorithm never generates the same password twice so even if someone managed to hack his site and steal the algorithm it would take them many lifetimes and far more of the total of computing power of the bitcoin network hack my passwords!

He claims 255 do the power of infinity.

In order for someone to transfer out, the passphrase would be needed in order to do that, correct?  I had one but I also found a backup directory with one of my wallet.dat files dating back to 9/16/2011.  Is there any way to tell if it's been encrypted?

It would look like that bitcoin-qt transferred your bitcoins to a new wallet as part of the update possibly?

I would write an issue here - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues - and see what the response it.

If your backup wallet.dat file was stolen and it didnt have a password, there is a quite high chance that your coins were sent..


You can load your backup file into your normal bitcoin client and try to add/change the password.. If you had one, it will ask you to enter it before you can change it.
Make a backup of your current wallet.dat before trying an old one.

I figured out my issue. I had bitcoin installed ages ago and was pretty sure I uninstalled but but I guess not. What I was doing was opening the 32bit version, as soon as I opened the 64bit version I could the 0.9.3

The now real issue is in 0.9.3 for windows x64 doesn't have an address book. I can't see my addresses, so I wanted to send someone bitcoins I would basically be screwed because I can't retrieve my wallet ID.

I sent as a set some bitcoin from another wallet to my bitcoin one (the same ID I had in the 32bit one) and coins are coming in but everything is kept secret I can't see where it's coming from. When I try to add my ID back to the 0.9.3 it comes back and say that Wallet ID is already in your address book. (which I can't see).

Bug? I don't know.. but you shouldn't be stopping people from seeing their Wallet ID's.

Can't you enable the coin control features in the options menu? Maybe this helps...

Great to see another update to Bitcoin Core as it had been awhile without one.

[Meuh6879]

After update from 0.9.2  32bit on win xp ...

1) no connection after 1 hour, stopped it, restarted, loading blocks ok ... but,
2) stay on the same block since 2 hours, stopping it and now since 3 hours stays on "don't shutdown your computer ..." and still bitcoin process running ... but don't know what he is doing ...

strange!

no strange, read the debuglog file ... it download "by hell" too orphan block, now.
i'm stuck, too ... on the marker 1 years 10 weeks since 24 hours after many restart of the bitcoin core.

Linked question for "slow download" : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252937.msg9017061#msg9017061

When will there be new features released in the wallet?

[DropboxSeller]

Nice update, thanks. Downloading now.

[Crypto 4 Revo]

Great job devs. Keep up the good work.

[crazyearner]

Nice to see another release. I sure hope this fixes the transactions bug when sending coins rest of coins go into pending and have to close wallet and re open it again.

Bitcoin Core version 0.9.3 is now available from:

  https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.3/

(...)

I am very curious to know when CoinJoin might be incorporated as something fully supported and available from Core, and given recent concerns regarding state actors such as the Russian Federation or some proposals which have recently come out of the UNSC, I believe that it would be timely to clarify this issue and raise its priority.

Link to existing issue and my comment on the subject in development is here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3226#issuecomment-58085920

brief edit to this post:

CoinJoin development at this time has funding support of over 42 BTC.  Are there any impediments to the release of these funds to get this feature done, as well as any other privacy or anonymity options which might be considered development-worthy?

OK, after a complet download from the official torrent ... no crash of this version 0.9.3 on my WinXP SP3 + all KBs updates.
Strange that it have been located on the blockchain files  

So, the answer is : when bitcoin core crash without warning ... re-download the whole blockchain folder.  

ps : i don't  have changed anything in this computer ... and it's run only for network stuff (no private use).

That's strange indeed. Probably a database (either the UTXO database or the block index) was corrupted in a sneaky way. You had tried a reindex before?

Anyhow, great to hear that your problem is solved.

It will be incorporated when someone implements it. It's an open source project, so there is no saying who will pick this up. AFAIK no one is working on wallet features in Bitcoin Core at the moment. The core developers are focused on improving the node infrastructure. Maybe Cozz (who got Coin Control to a state where it could be merged) would be interested, given incentive.

[Meuh6879]

no, but ... in the future, if this append again ... instead of re-download the blockchain, i try this first.  
re-indexing blockchain take the whole day.
