Title: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: seafarer124 on September 09, 2013, 07:43:59 AM Just opened my laptop and started Bitcoin QT and received the message blockchain corrupt, I clicked OK and now it appears "Reindexing blocks - 204 weeks.
Also, my Bitcoins are Unconfirmed. What happened, why the message? Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: Justin00 on September 09, 2013, 08:13:59 AM I just got that aswell.. opened up my client 5 seconds ago.
was working fine when I opened it a few hours back. Closed it down normally.. so not sure what the problem is.. Im using 0.8.4 Its rebuilding now so we'll see if it fixs itsself. Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: MsBitcoin on September 09, 2013, 08:16:12 AM I also got this error on 2 different computers. One running 0.8.3 and one running 0.8.4.
Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: seafarer124 on September 09, 2013, 08:28:42 AM The power went off for about fifteen minutes, lost internet connection.
That is the only thing different that has happened, Bitcoin QT was open and synced at the the time I lost the connection. Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: Chemistry1988 on September 09, 2013, 08:29:58 AM Got the same error just now. Cannot find anything useful in debug log. Running 0.8.4 on Win7 x64.
Is it just a few of us getting unlucky? or a 0.8.4 problem? PS: a few more victims found in another forum thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=290831.0 Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: Justin00 on September 09, 2013, 08:32:33 AM wierd it happeend at the same time.

Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: gmaxwell on September 09, 2013, 09:58:06 AM After it finishes you should be working, but if you restart again it will fail again until you do the workaround described (or until the triggering transactions are far enough back that they are no longer subject to the startup time double checking).

How long to wait before problem is far enough back, two days/one week?Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: gmaxwell on September 09, 2013, 10:57:05 AM How long to wait before problem is far enough back, two days/one week? Once you are already stuck waiting won't help. Add the -checklevel=2 command-line parameter or checklevel=2 to bitcoin.conf.Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: seafarer124 on September 09, 2013, 12:11:05 PM How long to wait before problem is far enough back, two days/one week?

seafarer: make a shortcut and in the properties go to the "target" field and put in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -checklevel=2 You'll need to change the program files part if yours is in a diff directory Title: Re: Corrupted Blockchain Data Detected Post by: seafarer124 on September 09, 2013, 01:39:22 PM just applied the workaround and its all working - thanks :) Thanks for the information.seafarer: make a shortcut and in the properties go to the "target" field and put in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -checklevel=2 You'll need to change the program files part if yours is in a diff directory I will try when the client has finished Reindexing, down to 9 days behind.
