Bitcoin Forum

So I'm using bitcoin-qt, and my wallet stopped working. Following most of the advice I've read on the forum I deleted all the data in my bitcoin folder, save for my wallet, and tried to redownload my blockchain, without success.

I've gotten the following error messages.

EXCEPTION: 11DbException
Db::get: Not enough space

And Displayed transactions may not be correct, you may need to upgrade or other nodes may need to upgrade.

I've tried using the tools in python, but to be honest, python won't even let me select directories.

I have backups of my wallet, and 2 backups of my bitcoin folder. At this point I just want to get the coins transfered to another wallet, like electrum or multibit, I don't even care about getting bitcoin-qt working again. Can anyone help me?

Check your windows time and make sure it is correct.

My windows clock is accurate.

Just to cover the obvious, you have enough disk space?

Not enough space generally means your HDD is full. Clean your recycle bin and make sure you have at least 3 GB free on it.

Ofcourse running a computer with the drive almost full is not a very good practice, so you better delete some files if that's the case.

I did double check, but my C: Drive has 71 gigs of free space.

I resynched my clock and calendar, but when I was checking my debug logs there was nothing about the block timestamp.

However, I did notice a lot off error messages towards the end of when my wallet failed to load.

The following is the error log for when I tried to load it and head the memory issues.

Thank you for your help btw.

Is there an easy way to make a private key so I can just access my coins via another wallet?

Without starting Bitcoin-qt or bitcoind there is no "easy way".

There is pywallet. https://github.com/joric/pywallet

BTW, the part that isn't easy about pywallet is the installation of the dependencies. Working with it is easy.

I've been reading up on using bitcoind, but I honestly can't get it started via python, can you help me with that?

If your blockchain is corrupted, bitcoind will not start. It will error, just like bitcoin-qt. I know nothing about accessing bitcoind using python, so I can't help you there.
Right now your only solution(maybe not the only, but the easiest) is to put pywallet working on windows and export the private keys from your wallet to import them someplace else, like the blockchain.info wallet or some lite client, like Electrum.

Actually I think I got most of it, I just couldn't set up Bitcoin to run as a server, so my command prompt wouldn't connect.

I'm using the guide you posted earlier
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86085.0

I'm just confused at the mention of the path entry of the properties window, because I don't see it here in windows 7.

Yes, you do have the Properties window.
Choose one of the bitcoin shortcuts on your system. The one on the Desktop or the one on the Start Menu/Programs and right click it and choose Properties. Append -server to the end of the Path, like and Save.
Use the shortcut you edited to launch the client.
That's it.
But like I said, not sure if it will start if you still have the error you described on your first post. Or did that get solved when you reseted the time/date?

Psy, you saved my butt bigtime, I just sent you half a bitcoin as a reward for helping me through all of this.

Glad you got it sorted. Thank you for the reward :)
