Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

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")

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?
