my wallet seems to continue crash at around block 252000. some issues lately with the blockchain?
No , you probably closed wallet accidentally or by force (Restart, Power of) so you should do reindex.

https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/zencash-swing-wallet-ui/blob/master/docs/TroubleshootingGuide.md
ok..i will try to do that to see if it is working

There's a known wallet bug we're working on, thus far an annoyance requiring -reindex per that troubleshooting guide; still, we want to solve ASAP so we have the team spun up investigating. We think we've isolated the issue and should have resolved soon. KEY POINT: Your ZEN is absolutely safe, this isn't a blockchain issue and it doesn't involve losing any funds...best practice is always to backup your wallat.dat file / private keys. Sorry for the inconvenience!
the funds being safe is the most important feature...but please make something with the speed of reindex the blockchain. maybe some temporary saved snapshots of the blockchain for us to use when a blockchain issue is up. i think i have waited almost 1 day for the wallet to sync

We've toyed with the idea of a chain and state snapshot to facilitate reindex, but held off on publishing. That said, it's not a bad idea for you to do that yourself after reindex just to have something on hand if the issue happens again. I've had to reindex 3x so far...quite annoying Smiley

Ive seen other chains having a download from web site which include the chain up to block xxx. Makes the sync much faster for new members of community and existing having to reload the chain Smiley if that is the feature your talking about im sure the devs here could do it as they seem very skilled, but that would take time of other projects.
