Title: Error Reading from Database
Post by: HeapinCoins on March 15, 2015, 12:39:12 PM
BTC Hello, I have been letting this bitcoin core sync for about 20 hours. It started at about 40 weeks behind and finally got all the way up to 4 weeks behind. But now it stops and gives me this error message. Also I have money already sent to this address. So I need this to work somehow. I cashed money out of a poker site ACR, they said it processed and I should have gotten it by now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Check whether you actually received anything by entering your bitcoin address into a blockchain explorer, like blocktrail.com

If you recieved coins you have several options:

#1 import your wallet.dat file to e.g. blockchain.info
#2 check the log files in your bitcoin core directory to figure out what the problem is
#3 export only the private key for the address you received coins with and import it into a slim or light wallet like multibit or electrum

It looks like you are running Windows.  Which one?  What version of Bitcoin?  0.10.0?

The log location is in here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

Did you check those spots?

Is the wallet.dat in there?  If so, make a backup right away just to be safe.

Yes windows 8 and bitcoin core 10

i found the file and the wallet.dat file IS in there. How do i back up the file?

the errors are...

Just make a copy on an external device (e.g. USB stick) for a backup.

From what I read (never personally tried it) you can importat the full wallet.dat into blockchain.info's online wallet. Just drag and drop the file here -> https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet
and they create a new wallet for you. It should be protected by the same password as your wallet file.

Once you access your new wallet on bc.i you can either send it to an address from your multibit wallet.

the errors are...

015-03-15 14:17:14 StopNode()
2015-03-15 14:17:14 Corruption: block checksum mismatch
2015-03-15 14:17:14 *** System error while flushing: Database corrupted


Looks like you have problems with your disk. Esp. since bitcoin core isnt even starting anymore.

You can back it up like any other file - just make a copy of it on your PC to a USB drive or the like.  This way, at least you have a degree of safety if the one copy somehow gets messed up.  It has the keys that you need to access your coins so is the most important thing to have safe and secure.

see:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Backingup_your_wallet

If you didn't have it password protected, I believe that other wallets should import the private keys.

It is hard to say exactly what the error is, except it isn't good for the block DB.

I saw in here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=917978.msg10661082#msg10661082

that blockchain.info no longer supports the drag and drop method.


Multibit and others will import it, but make a copy first since (as noted above), it sounds like you are having HDD issues.

Believe it or not, I have never been able to sync lately.. since I last mentioned it, and before.. bad_alloc, so gave up running bitcoin, too much hassle..

I'm sure folks will say check pc, harddrive, memory etc, but personally, I think it's the isp causing the problem, because it takes my network card forever to start sending/receiving. I have tried multiple network card's, and I think bitcoin is just timing out waiting on whatever.. quite simply, my machine is fine, but bitcoin continues to simpley not work.. it could be I'm a stubborn xp user, and xp is no longer supported by ms, but this should not matter. It's been the same for now goin on 4 latest versions..

The solution above in the steps listed, should help you open bitcoin core.  It will delete the DB and start over.  You do not need to let it complete, just start up, export the key and then stop.

If the problem is the database and not Bitcoin Core itself corrupted on the disk, then follow the steps above and you will be fine.

Just be SURE you have a few extra backups of the wallet.dat - 1. in case your hard disk has more issues, 2. in case you mistype something.

Nope, I dont use skype sorry. Try the steps fsb4000 and I listed. If it still isnt working by tomorrow I could offer that you send me the wallet.dat via mail and I send you the coins to your new wallet address, but not today. I have to get some sleep.

What it is a page of the linux libraries Ubuntu / raspberry (raspnode / full node), etc.  ??? That maybe is the solution?
