Title: Sync Issue and Reindex Help Post by: ThousandFaces on August 12, 2015, 01:36:17 AM I am having sync issues. I am running the newest btc core client, v0.11.0 and I have been stuck on block 367988 for days now. I have tried restarting and such. Somone suggested to restart the client and reindex, but I don't know how to do that. Can any offer some advice on this? Thanks!
Title: Re: Sync Issue and Reindex Help Post by: TECSHARE on August 12, 2015, 06:44:03 AM Assuming you mean WINDOWS 7 you: 1) Create a shortcut for bitcoin-qt on your desktop. 2) Right-click the shortcut and select properties. 3) In the field labeled Target type -rescan on the end. P.S. default is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" so the target field would end up looking like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan.

I had this crappy issue but I never used it to get anything fixed , I just wait shitload of time and it finally gets sync or reindexed alone. But I don't get it ... Is it Sync or reindexing with disk ? If it's Synchronizing with network then there is nothing you could do I guess because it's downloading the Blockchain right now . and check here , you most likely need to run both commands : http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22199/what-exactly-did-bitcoin-qt-rescan-reindex-do (check both question and answers ) Title: Re: Sync Issue and Reindex Help Post by: shorena on August 14, 2015, 03:26:32 PM Yes, I did mean Windows 7.

The explanation by Pieter Wuille is very good IMHO. |
