Title: Moving the blocks Post by: flyup on January 16, 2015, 03:28:18 AM I'm creating a new bitcoin-qt installation on a Linux Mint/ubuntu virtual machine.
I've tried moving the blocks folder over without success Code: bitcoin-qt -reindex will begin reindexing on the disk and then it fails around week 40 What am I doing wrong? This is the failure: Code: bitcoin-qt -reindex Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: Newar on January 16, 2015, 08:34:08 AM Which Bitcoin Core version are you using? Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: flyup on January 16, 2015, 03:48:21 PM core version 9.3.0
I've tried re-indexing with and without a network connection. I've tried moving over the chainstate folder I've tried moving every file/folder over except wallet.dat Reindexing still fails - ??? Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: flyup on January 18, 2015, 05:09:35 PM I've tried it now on 9.4.0 too.
Why am I having such difficulty moving the blockchain? It seems like I did this a few months ago without an issue. Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: cr1776 on January 18, 2015, 05:26:41 PM It does seem odd you are having the problem because (as you noted) it is possible.
You might just trying running 0.10.0rc3 and re-download the blockchain. It will in all likelihood be much faster than banging your head against the wall on this more. ;-) Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: poisenrang on January 24, 2015, 11:38:41 AM It does seem odd you are having the problem because (as you noted) it is possible.

Delete all the downloaded blocks & Try downloading the torrent Bootstrap file and place it on the Bitcoin Data Directory and run your wallet again . It should Import from the disk just fine and probably start synchrozning with the network if some blocks missing . => https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: Newar on January 26, 2015, 07:01:13 AM [...]Basically 0.10.0rc3 = 0.9.4 the Final release[...] This is not correct. 0.9.4 fixed an issue with OpenSSL which affected mainly the Ubuntu PPA. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/41f94edf221019a6c4b8f78c2b17c389442f546e/doc/release-notes.md 0.10.0RC3 introduces more features i.e. "headers first". Preliminary release notes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.10/doc/release-notes.md Additionally RC stands for Release candidate, so it's not a final release. Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: flyup on February 08, 2015, 04:38:51 PM I'm beginning to think I've encountered a bug in XFCE or core version 9.4.0 and 9.3.0
I've tried moving the blocks [blocks folder] - returns: Code: bitcoin-qt -reindex I've tried initializing with bootstrap.dat This imports blocks from disk- then after a rescan the core fails with no error message. Any ideas? Title: Re: Moving the blocks Post by: flyup on February 27, 2015, 03:46:44 PM I was successfully able to move the blocks to a Windows 10 Tech Preview virtual machine.
I tried on several different Debian and Ubuntu distros and all my attempts failed. Hello- Cortana. How much bitcoin is in my wallet? |
