Title: Bitcoin Core .16 freezes and can't resync the blocks Post by: codenameb0b on March 26, 2018, 03:06:57 AM I got an error message for a fatal error with the database and Bitcoin Core quit, when it starts it attempts to resync but it always freezes around block 255672.
I've tried to start it with bitcoin-qt -reindex but I get the same result after several attempts I deleted all the blocks and restarted and it downloaded for several hours and then I got this: https://pastebin.com/uzwiZ7bL I backed up my wallet.dat file through the GUI so I think my coin is safe. How can this be repaired? Thanks!

Then delete the whole Bitcoin data folder except for the wallet.dat. After that reinstall the client, make a bitcoin.conf file on the Bitcoin folder which you just deleted files from (be sure that you save the file as a .conf file, because windows does by default hide known file extensions and it would create a file called bitcoin.conf.txt. I suggest you include the following on the bitcoin.conf file: Code: rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 That would sync the whole chain, and compress it to 1GB maximum so you don't have to use a whole disk for the whole blockchain. Let me know if you have any addittional questions.

You might try to delete this block from the application data directory (blk****.dat). Afterwards start core with the -reindex startup command.

Let me know if you have any addittional questions. If you don't know what you're doing, I suggest to leave the settings at it's default value. |
