This issue tracker is only for technical issues related to particl-core.

General questions and/or support requests and are best directed to our Slack or RIOT channels.

Describe the issue

When trying to launch the daemon and use testnet on OSX, particld immediately crashes.

Can you reliably reproduce the issue?

If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:

1. Download and extracted particl-0.15.0.3-osx64.tar.gz
2. In Terminal ran; particld -testnet -debug -rpcuser=test -rpcpassword=test -rpccorsdomain=http://localhost:4200
3. Outputs an error in Terminal.

Expected behaviour

The particl daemon should begin syncing to the testnet.

Actual behaviour

The following error is output into Terminal:

************************
EXCEPTION: NSt3__18ios_base7failureE       
CDataStream::read(): end of data: unspecified iostream_category error       
particl in AppInit()       

Assertion failed: (!hashBlock.IsNull()), function BatchWrite, file txdb.cpp, line 105.
Abort trap: 6

What version of particl-core are you using?

v0.15.0.3 release binaries for OSX.

Machine specs:

• OS: 10.13.1
• CPU: 2.5Ghz i7
• RAM: 16GB

Please restart with the -reindex flag.

So I'm not sure what changed but it seems some recent OS X or brew package update has seemed to fix things.

Just to make sure things worked as expected did the following steps:

Deleted:
~/Library/Application Support/Particl
~/Library/Application Support/Particl Wallet

./particld -testnet

OR

adding testnet=1 to ~/Library/Application Support/Particl/particl.conf

Both now work as expected with particl-cli. However, when adding testnet=1 to particl.conf, this causes the new 1.0 Wallet UI to crash on start-up.
