Title: A fatal error occurred....... Post by: meanig on March 31, 2013, 12:43:36 PM Need some help guys. I loaded an old wallet into my client and tried to send some coins to a new address. I got the following error message
Code: A fatal error occurred. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit. I'm running version 0.8. The old wallet was last opened in summer 2012 in probably 0.6. Thanks Title: Re: A fatal error occurred....... Post by: meanig on March 31, 2013, 01:28:01 PM Adding to the intrigue it gives me another error on startup
Code: System error: CDB() : can't open database wallet.dat, error -30974 I'm getting the feeling my wallet.dat is fooked :-\ Title: Re: A fatal error occurred....... Post by: meanig on March 31, 2013, 01:34:11 PM A little bit of digging shows the -30974 error has happened to other people too. The advice given was to use pywallet to extract the keys but there was never a follow up saying it worked.
Has anyone recovered from this error using pywallet? |
