You should rebuild your DB after that update, but I don't remember seeing anything that makes the code do it by itself. So this still seems like bit of a mystery to me why it is happening.

Looks like some people are questioning Bitcoins fixed blocks and considering adaptive blocks instead. No mention of Monero so far in the conversation, could be a good opportunity for one of our devs to show off one of Monero's best characteristics!

I don't have the technical knowledge to explain the adaptive block size myself - and I understand that you may not think it worthwhile/worth the risk of being banned (if that is indeed a risk). But I do not think that a mention of monero's adaptive block size would be OT on such a thread, particularly at a time when the Bitcoin community is finding itself in such a bind regarding block size. I would have thought that possible solutions to the problem, or at least feasible alternatives, would be welcome. I may be wrong though.

The commit is this one I think: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commit/e5d2680094ee15889934fe28901e4e133cda56f2

This is from last week: https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.win.x64.v0-9-beta.zip

Exercise the appropriate level of care with it being a beta. We've recently found and solved what we hope to be the only major, breaking database issue (that could have caused major issues if we'd tagged prematurely), but that means that prior LMDB sync ups have to be resynced from scratch or imported from a fresh blockchain.raw export.

Thanks dEBRUYNE and double-thanks fluffypony.
Trying out the beta now, will report back any issues I might have (or on IRC if it looks lengthy for whatever reason).

Is there an OS X beta?

Hey Monero-ites... I have a question RE: MyMonero vs. the offline-wallet generator software.

I made an offline address and then tried to "open" it with the given mnemonic seed words in MyMonero, i.e. I was kinda just testing how all this might work IF some day I wanted to make a safe address, to put some monero on it, and then later (eventually) access it again to move/spend the money.

But the ADDRESSES that resulted were NOT the same!

Is that correct?  How is this supposed to work, exactly?

For sake of illustration since I'm not gonna USE these addresses now, here is what I got:

Offline Generated Address:
4AYrGeied2XEbaL3uk3gBK1z95DQrcVwncMr5kXPUd7T4RoHhjxyryRWU7qvsp2wJ6L4g1eFaqM6YbD 6RX52j4KQ8PfuBk8

MyMonero Address:

Mnemonic Seed Was:
gigantic motherly lordship worry pool karate lopped certain major demonstrate pepper colony jobs people befit merger lending envy lectures sifting puzzled nanny lodge paper certain

So...?  IF I had sent money to that first address WOULD IT have BEEN there at this "second" address?  I suppose I could just test it with a few cents worth, LOL, but seriously this doesn't seem RIGHT.

An address is an address and for normal humans to EVER be able to understand any of this stuff I think at least THAT has to be consistent.

Not yet - we're getting segfaults on older versions of OS X, busy fixing it now. Beta binaries are compiled sorta on-demand when someone is helping to test a specific feature commit but doesn't have a compile environment.

That...is...weird.

MyMonero's viewkey is completely wrong, it should be 0a731057880aec5b222887ee5101e5d8b6c0734c30cefb293f512f4c75637009. I'm going to have to figure out what's gone wrong.

Did you use the HTML offline generator, as in this one: https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator ?
