Title: OSX client keeps crashing with my wallet.dat
Post by: Ali on January 02, 2014, 10:39:54 pm

Almost one month ago my Protoshares-client just kept crashing after opening so I figured I had to delete the ~/.protoshares-folder (of course saving my wallet.dat).

I reinstalled version 0.2.0 of the client and loaded the blockchain again. Now whenever I put my wallet.dat back into the ~/.protoshares folder it quits.

What can I do about this?

It looks like possibly a corrupt wallet, based on:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2339

Try running with -salvagewallet as suggested in that thread (in terminal type "./Applications/ProtoShares-Qt-0.2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/ProtoShares-Qt -salvagewallet")
