If the error persist after reaching the height where you've encountered the error, your blockchain may have been corrupted by the sudden shutdown.
If so, you can open your "debug.log" file from bitcoin data directory (default location) to check for errors related to the corrupted block or for possible other issues.
Thank you. I see errors in the debug.

May I show this last section here? I do not know what to do.
The error may be logged before you opened bitcoind with reindex, have you experienced the same error after -reindex?
Yes you can, there's nothing in the debug log that can compromise your private keys, only some privacy-related info.

Can I delete files until the last sync?
Can I save the blockchain and restart it in case of a PC crash?
  • (CMIIAW) I think you can delete the last block file and Bitcoin Core will detect it and issue -reindex then it will sync starting from the last valid block.
    However, if your blockchain is pruned, it will sync from start if you do that.
  • Yes, but not just the blockchain, if you're going to back it up, you may as well backup the whole data directory.

Ok, Bitcoind I ran and download everything. Can I run Bitcoin Core normally again or is there anything else I need to be aware of?
If the error persist after reaching the height where you've encountered the error, your blockchain may have been corrupted by the sudden shutdown.
If so, you can open your "debug.log" file from bitcoin data directory (default location) to check for errors related to the corrupted block or for possible other issues.

If there's no error and you've reached the tip of the blockchain, then it's good.
2443  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: mnemonic recovery script on: November 28, 2021, 05:19:43 AM
Or use BTCRecover instead?
It has a seedrecover.py script that can bruteforce your 2 missing words; however, you'll need to provide an address or the master public key as reference.

2444  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Creating an "imported private keys" Electrum wallet from the command line on: November 27, 2021, 09:19:18 AM
Use restore instead of create.
Example:
Code:
electrum --testnet -w test_wallet1 restore "p2wpkh:cToWRvSSzMJn87KJc7y66c9YfLuPWQf8uBrYvj5pdsa8h1v5NL6Q p2wpkh-p2sh:cMiHrQ32jiRmTzMKXi6NT9RR2m6SUgNzC36ghTf1Z2JAbhBJncji"
Enter the wallet name after the "-w" argument, and the private key(s) (with script type) after "restore".

Uh, yeah it's happened to someone before. most people it doesn't happen to though. that does bring up a good point though. maybe there needs to be something in bitcoin core that prevents it from happening. just reject the transaction if the transaction fee is **too much** greater than the "average transaction fee".
The good thing is, there actually is a setting for that (start parameter or bitcoin.conf entry):
maxtxfee = sets the maximum transaction fee in BTC that your node can broadcast/relay,
The default is 0.1BTC, still too high but at least it can prevent >1BTC disasters.

Bitcoin-qt - 'Help->Command-line options', under "Debugging/Testing options:":
Quote
-maxtxfee=<amt>
Maximum total fees (in BTC) to use in a single wallet transaction; setting this too low may abort large transactions (default: 0.10)

Hello everyone, can you help me configure the program for searching on the GPU? Where and what to add? My graphics card gt 550ti CUDA installed version 8.
Test the "-l" argument first to see if your GPU is supported:
Code:
vanitysearch -l

If yes, you just have to add the argument -gpu when searching for a vanity prefix.
2447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: why there is change address. on: November 26, 2021, 03:07:32 PM
So even if you disable change address, the rest of the amount from the UTXO that you're spending should be sent to an address;
Otherwise, it will be added to the transaction fee.
This is bad, if I forget to send to an address all the amount from UTXO will be added to the transaction fee. Has this thing happen to somebody before?
No, a well-written client/wallet will send the remaining amount to your 'receiving address' or back to the same address if 'change address' is disabled/not available.
It will only happen if you will create the transaction by hand and forgot to specify a change address, eg. through Bitcoin Core's createrawtransaction command.
I haven't heard of a wallet that fails to do that and forgot to claim the remaining balance from the UTXO.
2448  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory-Transaction through BitcoinCore running as TOR-hidden-service on: November 26, 2021, 11:35:40 AM
Try to add server=1 into your bitcoin.conf file.
If it didn't worked, please provide some lines from Armorylog.txt that may be related to the issue.
2449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: why there is change address. on: November 26, 2021, 03:28:50 AM
-snip- So you will not use the balance in your wallet until the transaction is confirm and your balance is send back to you through change address.
Actually, this isn't because of the change address but because 'Bitcoin Transaction' is "UTXO" based (more info).
Each unspent transaction output in the blockchain should be spent whole so if you need to spend one with the huge amount, you'll need to send the excess amount to another address in your wallet
which is usually sent to a 'change address' but can also be sent to a 'receiving address' depending on the wallet.
So even if you disable change address, the rest of the amount from the UTXO that you're spending should be sent to an address;
Otherwise, it will be added to the transaction fee.

Your wallet is making you wait for confirmation, it must be because it's set to wait for confirmation before spending a UTXO (the change of the unconfirmed transaction).
Some wallets have a setting to be able to spend unconfirmed unspent transaction outputs.
2450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending amounts > in wallet empties wallet on: November 25, 2021, 04:38:44 PM
The APP being used does not allow the setting of fees -snip-
It should have a fee setting there... anyway:
My reply is based from your replies to the earlier responses,
I've taken in consideration that you initiated those two transactions, the receiver have received the bitcoins and each transactions used your full balance at that time.

If everything checks out, then it's about the fee (but I didn't get what your last reply is all about).
If not, then it's the "other verdict".

Knowing the APP assigns the address would you not think its possible that the app is assigning the address in question from a third party some how though intervention when the app request this address.
-snip-
I didn't mentioned anything about the app assigning address by itself, where did this came from?
Is the receiver's address different than the "assigned address" in those two transactions (that you've initiated)?

Language barrier, perhaps? Try the local boards: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php#5
2451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core causes hard drive failures on: November 25, 2021, 04:18:31 AM
What a relief. It took a week of fiddling to rescue a bit of BTC that was stuck in an Armory wallet on Windows. Bitcoin Core has destroyed two of my hard drives (i.e. a Seagate Barracuda and a SanDisk Ultra SSD). -snip-
That's news.
I know that synchronization is I/O extensive, but HDD/SSD shouldn't fail that easily unless there's something wrong with the hardware.

Have you set the dbcache (database cache) to an insane value that your RAM can't handle together with the OS's background processes?
2452  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: My laptop crashed - need to restore Electrum on: November 24, 2021, 04:45:13 AM
The seed phrase is enough to restore the wallet.

The steps are simple, just follow this:
  • On the 'Install Wizard' of Electrum, select "Standard Wallet" (for the 'usual' wallets) or "Wallet with 2-factor authentication" (for 2FA wallets).
  • Click 'Next', select "I already have a seed", paste your seed and Electrum will automatically detect the correct derivation path.
  • Click 'Next', finish creating the wallet by typing a password.

If you already created a wallet, you can access the install wizard using the menu "File->New/Restore", then type a wallet name.
2453  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending amounts > in wallet empties wallet on: November 24, 2021, 03:31:17 AM
Can anyone explain why this would happen. I do understand there is a small transaction fee for the miner, but when it equals the balance of my wallet.
The fee was set to 54.398 sat/B on the last transaction which is equals to 0.00010390 BTC when multiplied by the total size of the transaction.
So, that will be deducted from the input together with the sent amount which may be equals to your balance.
It may have used all because the 'change' would have been "dust" (for privacy and to save fee later).

If you do not want this to happen, you should avoid extremely high fee, set it to "Economic" since the normal setting seems to be over-estimating most of the time.
Fee setting is in the "Menu->Fee" when sending funds.

I hope Dorian Prentice will see this post and contact me.
If you're thinking about somehow "recovering" the funds though the developers' intervention: it's not possible.
No one is in full control of the network, even satoshi himself.

What you should focus on is to find your correct funded addresses first, then find their private keys.

For the past and current reference client developers, you can find them here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors

i received the txid from the sender but not save it
Who is this "sender"?
Someone you don't know, your "friend" or a legitimate service where you can buy Bitcoins?

You must be sure that you've actually received Bitcoins because recovering something that's non-existent will just waste your time.
And as other have mentioned, those addresses didn't received any coins (neither Bitcoins or Altcoins).
2456  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Export as watch only on: November 23, 2021, 04:31:32 AM
Is there a way to export a wallet that has 1000's of different addresses as a "watch only" wallet? -snip-
Since the thread is not in a specific wallet software board, I assume that you're referring to Bitcoin Core.

There's a workaround but it involves using iancoleman's BIP39 tool and will not work with "Descriptor wallets".
For reference, here's the steps (Air-gap machine is recommended):
  • Use dumpwallet command to export your wallet's "extended private master key" [dumpwallet]
  • Open the dump file using a text editor to view the 'extended private master key'
  • Launch iancoleman's BIP39 tool [github.com/iancoleman/bip39]
  • Paste the 'master key' to the BIP39 tool's "BIP32 Root Key" input box.
  • Select "BIP32" under 'Derivation Path' for legacy addresses or "BIP141" for Native SegWit and P2SH-SegWit (select the correct script), then change "BIP32 Derivation Path" into m/0'/0' or m/0'/1' (change addresses)
  • Tick "Use hardened addresses" under 'Derived Addresses', then toggle: "Private Key" and "Public Key".
  • Scroll down and type 1000 (addresses) to "Show" and 0 to "starting from index" input boxes, then click "More Rows".
  • There's you'll have a list of 1000 addresses derived from your master key, you can use the "CSV" tab on top if you want to export the list.

Then use the list to create a watch-only wallet.
2457  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Problem: No seed, no 2fa, with password and access. on: November 22, 2021, 02:40:33 AM
-snip-
I don't agree. Paying a third-party service to give you the right to use your own money. Smells like your typical bank. He should get rid of that wallet and create a new wallet where he alone has access to the data that allows him to spend his bitcoin. The other reason why he shouldn't use that wallet anymore is because he will be paying more in transaction fees because it's a multisig.
It's far from a custodial service though, because TrustedCoin doesn't have access to his funds since they only have 1 master private key in their server.
For full custody of the funds, it's still in the user's control since the two master prvKeys and the master pubKey (of Trustedcoin's key) are in the seed phrase.

So I can agree with hosseinimr93's first suggestion to jotaemeese, only if he still wants to use 2FA
and willing to pay for their service (which I don't think he's aware of).

unfortunately its a different wallet. I hardly used them myself so just a FUBAR ordeal ..
Okay, so I assume that the Multibit wallet backup is corrupted then, because you wont get that error in Electrum with any other private keys aside from the four mentioned above.
2459  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Get master key from 128bit on: November 21, 2021, 02:10:26 AM
what I need to fix in these two lines, to get the master key (deterministicKey) if I do not have string bip-39 at the entrance
 i have only 128 bit number -snip-
I don't need to receive Seed. I need to get a master key (deterministicKey) from a 128-bit number
There's no shortcut to this since the entropy (128 bit number) needs to be a 'UTF-8 normalized' mnemonic before you can get the 'binary seed'.
You'll need to do the above to convert it into a mnemonic, then use the result to your code.

what do you think about https://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/

What data do I have to provide?
The service has quite the reputation and the user has positive ratings as well: walletrecoveryservices
There's also a link to their 5-star Trustpilot review page: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/walletrecoveryservices.com

For the data, it depends on what they'll ask you but the whole portfolio plus a list of possible passphrases should be enough.
