Title: URGENT PLS HELP MinGW Runtime Assertion error in Wallet
Post by: BC3443 on January 16, 2020, 02:09:31 AM
I have Tried salvaging wallet and wallet.dat files.

If you type an invalid passphrase it acts normal.

If you type your correct passphrase the MinGW Runtime Assertion Appears and says error on line 251 and expression is false.

Please help if anyone knows what I need to do in order to restore my Wallet

BLESS YOU!!!!

Keep calm, you didn't say which wallet you're using, is it Bitcoin Core? Searching on google, other people had this same problem. Their solution should work for you too. First of all I recommend that you back up your wallet.dat to a safe location so that you do not risk corrupting the file.

The solution outlined here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1617233.0) solved the user problem, maybe it works for you too.

Try starting Bitcoin Core with the -reindex option. If that doesn't work, go to the data directory and delete the chainstate and databases folders.
