Title: "failed to read block" always occurring on startup Post by: davidwt on August 29, 2013, 01:03:31 AM I downloaded bitcoin-0.8.3-win32-setup.exe and installed onto my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate computer, ran it, and shortly after it started working, it popped this error dialog: "failed to read block".
I deleted the %appdata%\roaming\bitcoin folder, reran it to the same error. I uninstalled it, repeated the same steps, resulting in the same error. Then I tried the same with bitcoin-0.8.2-win32-setup.exe and it gave the same error even after repeating above. It doesn't take long during its download of data before popping up this error. Nothing I do seems to solve this. I even tried running with Administrator privilege to no avail. I would attach the debug.log if this forum would let me. Title: Re: "failed to read block" always occurring on startup Post by: ferskvare on August 29, 2013, 09:55:32 AM Could this be the same issue as when I run cgminer after having a long pause? cgminer makes bin-files (like scrypt130302Pitcairnglg2tc5120w256l4.bin) which it works with, and I think it saves info on block etc it is currently processing. If I too long of a timeout before starting cgminer again, it will sometimes crash or fail - I think becuase it is trying to handle information that is no longer valid.
Or I could be way off, and this has all been for nothing :D |
