Title: Sent coins to a wallet that is corrupted somehow
Post by: CoinCidental on July 20, 2012, 06:01:25 PM
sent a batch of coins to a wallet that was was working perfectly yesterday

now ,it shows a warning message of : WARNING :Displayed transcations may not be correct ,You may need to upgrade or other nodes may need to upgrade !

ive tried a clean install over the top of it but its not helping

its stuck on block 189751 and its refusing to download any more of the chain so the coins can not and will not arrive at this wallet until i can get it fixed

How can i get it to download the chain correctly without losing any coins ?

This warning is triggered when all of the blocks incoming are rejected. It means that either someone is pulling an expensive targeted attack on you (unlikely) or that you are running an old version of the client. If neither is true, you can probably redownload the block chain to fix it.

thx,i got it sorted in the end by switching the wallet.dat file to a wallet with a differnt "uncorrupted blockchain" :)
