Power outages are quite frequent where I live but after getting an UPS I have to say that it's one of the best investments I've ever made (others being SSDs and 144hz monitor).
At the moment my PC is running non stop for 51 days now which was impossible before. Title: Re: how to avoid the reindexing hassle with btc if machine power goes out??

Why is btc needing to reindex the entire thing again? just from a 10 sec power loss ...its a nightmare. Title: Re: how to avoid the reindexing hassle with btc if machine power goes out??

It doesn't need to download the whole bitcoin blockchain to sync. Title: Re: how to avoid the reindexing hassle with btc if machine power goes out??

Are you running 11.2 (or 12.0)? It has a fix for corruption of the database specifically on Windows. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6917 |
