I really need you guys expertise on this one. I sent bitcoins to my Bitcoin Core wallet before the blockchain fully sync’d. I tried to wait for the blockchain to sync but my system crashed. After my system rebooted, I tried to start bitcoin core, it says “error loading block database. Do you want to rebuild the block database now?” Ok or Abort. I did not choose an action yet. I have backed up my wallet.dat file but do not know the private key to the receiving adddress. The wallet is also encrypted.

Did I Lose The Coins?

Am I able to restore the wallet and the coins will be there after blockchain syncs?

Can I move the coins into another client using the wallet.dat file?

What are the consequences of rebuilding the block database?


Please Help! I'm panicking because I don't know how to access my coins. I am running the latest version of Bitcoin Core 0.13 for Windows 10. I would like to sweep the coins into Electrum if possible. I have it already installed.


Any information, or  fixes would be very much appreciated!
