Title: Help- Bitcoin Core Post by: compumine on May 06, 2014, 03:12:16 AM Could someone help out please?
When I start bitcoin core, I get "error opening block database, Do you want to rebuild the block database now?" If I press "OK", I get "error opening block database" What can I do to get my wallet working again? Thanks Title: Re: Help- Bitcoin Core Post by: shorena on May 06, 2014, 05:09:54 AM try running it with -reindex from shell

This is my first time having any technical issue Windows: - win + r - cmd - click OK - bitcoin-qt -reindex sometimes you have to go to the folder first e.g. cd \Programm Files\Bitcoin Linux: - open terminal - bitcoin-qt -reindex Quicker way if you're on Windows is to navigate to the location of the Bitcoin program (bitcoin-qt.exe), and shift+right-click any empty space in the folder and click "Open command window here". No need to cd to the location in CMD. |
