Bitcoin does not load

Project:Trisquel
Version:6.0
Component:Packages
Category:bug report

Status:wrong
Description

After "sudo apt-get install bitcoind bitcoin-qt" I started Bitcoin QT v0.7.2.0-g32a928e-beta and downloaded the database from scratch just some hours ago this day. However, after catching up 164463 blocks (67.50%) with active connections I receive an error message "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.". My old database had the same problem which is the reason I deleted all files except wallet.dat in the first place.

The Ubuntu way to install Bitcoin as seen at https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin does not work on Trisquel. You will get error if you add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu precise main

and running apt-get update

Error: 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu toutatis main' doesn't exist in a sourcelist file

Your problem is with other repositories, not the bitcoin PPA.

Try this:

$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa

And then "apt-get update".

Memtest confirmed that I had a broken RAM memory. It worked after I replaced it with a working.
