Bitcoin Core popup?

[sphericalxanadu]

Hey everyone

Every time I open my BitcoinCore wallet now, this popup "Warning" window comes up maybe 30 seconds after the client loads.
The message in the window won't even load, and it crashes the whole client immediately after it opens because it freezes my client and the message itself won't respond, forcing me to quit the whole program

I sent out a 0.052 balance last night and I have a few questions:

Does my client have to be open and running for the balance to send?

Will this crashing thing affect that transaction?

Will uninstalling and re downloading and installing the wallet get rid of this problem?

If I saved a backup .dat file of my wallet and load it into a newly installed version of bitcoincore, will it still have the rest of my coins and all of my transaction logs in there?

I really appreciate any answers guys. Thanks!

Are you running linux?

If so, open bitcoin-core and goto help > debug window and paste the openssl version listed there.

 If it crashed prior to you submitting it, then it wouldn't have sent. If you submitted it & the client processed the request it would of.

Will this crashing thing affect that transaction?

You can check whether it's sent by looking up your address, if it has sent there will be no effect on the transaction.

Will uninstalling and re downloading and installing the wallet get rid of this problem?

At the moment, if you are using the Linux latest version of Bitcoin core, there is a problem which involves OpenSSL, so reinstalling may not have any effect. Read more here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919373.0

If I saved a backup .dat file of my wallet and load it into a newly installed version of bitcoincore, will it still have the rest of my coins and all of my transaction logs in there?

Yes, if the output request didn't send, then you will have your coins there. If the transaction did output, then the coins you sent will go to the address you sent them too, but anything else remaining in the wallet will be there. All transactions are public, therefore you can search up the transaction log on the internet.



Your problem may not be related to the OpenSSL problem, and it may have just been a Blockchain error.

blockchain error, or wallet corrupted, transfer the fund over another new wallet

No I'm running Windows 8 currently

Also, update: The window now says "Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong, Bitcoin will not work properly."

My computer's date and time are working fine, always have been...


So I can download a new version of BitcoinCore and import my wallet backup there and everything will be in place?

It might be worth checking the debug.log file and letting us know what it says. This error seems to be pretty common and is normally easy to fix, however it may work by simply reinstalling.

You can also try manually synchronizing the time with Windows time servers, your computer may seem to be correct but, the timezone could be set incorrectly. (I can't imagine this being the problem though)

Another option is checking the date & time in the bios.

Hi! Welcome to the forum!

Every time I open my BitcoinCore wallet now, this popup "Warning" window comes up maybe 30 seconds after the client loads.
The message in the window won't even load, and it crashes the whole client immediately after it opens because it freezes my client and the message itself won't respond, forcing me to quit the whole program

As the above user told, it maybe because of OpenSSL problem.

I sent out a 0.052 balance last night and I have a few questions:
Does my client have to be open and running for the balance to send?

If it is pushed to blockchain, everything is fine if you have added sufficient fees.

Will this crashing thing affect that transaction?

No, it won't.

Will uninstalling and re downloading and installing the wallet get rid of this problem?

I don't think you want to uninstall to solve this.

If I saved a backup .dat file of my wallet and load it into a newly installed version of bitcoincore, will it still have the rest of my coins and all of my transaction logs in there?

Run Bitcoin core and it will sync from your local disk - no need to download again except new blocks.

Try to close it and open again. It may work or check whether it is OpenSSL's problem or re-install.

It might be worth checking the debug.log file and letting us know what it says. This error seems to be pretty common and is normally easy to fix, however it may work by simply reinstalling.

The debug.log for 1/10/15 was HUGE so I uploaded it here:
http://pastebin.com/8BCa9q61

Should I reinstall and load the backup wallet? I don't know what the whole SSL thing is about, I'm not on Linux or anything

ALSO
Blockchain found nothing for my latest receiving address or my computer's IP, so I'm assuming that means nothing happened. However, I have sent and received a lot of transactions in the past, but still blockchain finds zero transactions

Try re-installing and wait for the sync to finish. It will be okay, I think. Only download the wallet from official website.

[sphericalxanadu]

Will do.
Thanks very much for the help!

[sphericalxanadu]

Just reinstalled completely and I'm still having this problem. 

What should I do???

Also, I can't wait to let the sync to finish because the window pops up and shuts down the client.
I open Bitcoin Core, it stays open and syncs for about 30 seconds, and then the Warning thing pops up and stops responding immediately so I can't press okay, forcing me to quit the whole thing

the wallet may  be corrupted, transfer all fund to another one

Can you recommend another program? Also is there a way to get back that 0.052 that's floating around between my wallet and the receiver?

Is it pushed to Block chain? I think it is confirmed it it has happened. Electrum or Multibit would be a good choice, dump the private keys and import or sweep(better) it.

open a blockchain account and import your wallet.dat in blockchain.

When I try to do this it says I'm not allowed to. Even after I enter the password

Is there a tutorial for "dumping the private keys and importing or sweeping it?"

blockchain.info isn't always accurate. There are a number of different block explorers which I would recommend looking at and searching up the address, for a list of block explorers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=636463.0

Is there a tutorial for "dumping the private keys and importing or sweeping it?"

You can either dump it by using parameters/commands or you can use pywallet.

If you are interested in dumping via the commands then you should look here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list

Code:

 dumpprivkey 

will be particularity useful.

Otherwise, the pywallet tutorial can be found here: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet
 
That includes the download of pywallet (jackjack) also the page includes the commands which you can use as well as a read me for installing and using pywallet.

Code:

 
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --dumpwallet          dump wallet in json format
  --importprivkey=KEY   import private key from vanitygen
  --importhex           KEY is in hexadecimal format
  --datadir=DATADIR     wallet directory (defaults to bitcoin default)
