Title: "Failed to read block" error on bitcoin-qt Post by: gadoli on March 20, 2013, 06:15:10 AM Hi,
What should I do? I'm guessing I can delete the block data and start over downloading the whole thing. This should take me, well, forever. Anything else to do? And why did this happen in the first place?

Also there are some torrent trackers where you can download much faster.

Synchronization took "only" about six hours.What should I do? I'm guessing I can delete the block data and start over downloading the whole thing. This should take me, well, forever. Anything else to do? And why did this happen in the first place? However, Thanks to the developers for improvement.

And why did this happen in the first place? don't kill wallet.dat (or buckup file move here): delete all files in %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\ + in <blocks>, <chainstate>, <database> don't delete folder <index> inside, empty this.

Did you recently change the permissions of your bitcoin folder, or run Bitcoin-QT as root/administrator?
That would limit Bitcoin-QT's access. |
