Description of issue: Bitcoin Core crashes with the following “Error: A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details”
The debug.log has the following:
What behavior did you expect? I was hoping to run the node without crashing.
What was the actual behavior (provide screenshots if the issue is GUI-related)? Whenever I load Bitcoin Core, it tries to sync and it just crashes.
How reliably can you reproduce the issue, what are the steps to do so? Every time I boot Bitcoin Core, it crashes.
What version of Bitcoin Core are you using, where did you get it (website, self-compiled, etc)?
I am using Bitcoin Core, downloaded from Bitcoin.org.
What type of machine are you observing the error on (OS/CPU and disk type)?
Mac OSX, 500gb SSD with ~100gb of free space.
Any extra information that might be useful in the debugging process. This crash occurred after installing electrum personal server and adding several thousand watching addresses. I have since uninstalled Bitcoin Core, reinstalled it, and resynced it. It continues to crash, even without the use of electrum personal server.
This is normally the contents of a debug.log
or config.log
file. Raw text or a link to a pastebin type site are preferred.
