Thinking maybe I should move all my btcz out of the qt wallet until a solution is found to the problems.
Your coins aren't stored in the wallet, they're stored in the blockchain. The connectivity and crashing issues are affecting several coins and we're all working on resolutions. With something as complex as blockchains, we have to be thorough, methodical and careful so as to not make any problems worse. There's a reindex.bat file that's available in the latest version of the wallet to make reindexing easier if your wallet won't start.
I have a lot, so its a bit stressful. I dont really understand the wallets very well. I tried following the instructions a few left about reindexing but the command window just reported that I was giving it an unknown command.
