Can you run Bitcoin-Qt from a terminal and reproduce the issue? This should provide more info to help debug the issue. ie open Terminal and type /Path/To/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt

ping @instagibbs. I remember in SF you had a corrupt addrdb causing a crash. Do you remember if yours was asserting here as well?

Edit: I remember now, we looked at it. The addrman.Clear() in the case of a load failure isn’t enough. Did you look any further into what else needs to be cleared?

TheBlueMatt commented at 6:44 pm on September 27, 2017: member

@LordAndrei can you upload your peers.dat from your datadir somewhere? It does seem weird that this would cause a crash.

@theuni similar assert but I don’t think the same one? Can’t recall actually.

instagibbs commented at 9:03 pm on September 27, 2017: member

actually it’s the same line: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11252

theuni commented at 9:28 pm on September 27, 2017: member

@instagibbs Ah, that explains why I couldn’t find anything else to clear! Thanks for fixing. @LordAndrei This will be fixed in an upcoming version. A quick fix for you, if you’re still crashing, is to simply delete your peers.dat.

Closing this and marking #11252 for backport.

Tested the attached peers.dat, indeed it fails on 0.15.0.1 and is cleared properly on master.

LordAndrei commented at 9:36 pm on September 27, 2017: none

Removing peers.dat was a good workaround. Muchly appreciated for everyone’s help.
