ssd's are one way. but not this time. the slower rebuild is the best way to go.
like it or not you have enough coins (48)
to consider a few pc's that mainly hold your coins and do nothing else. 48 coins is close to 14,500 usd.
A pc with just bitcore will speed thing up… I have a pc with an older quad core 16gb ram and a 250 gb ssd .
It can do a reindex in under 10 hours.
You could consider having 2 wallets with blockchain.info one with 2 or less coins one with 4 to 8 coins.
and then the rest of the coins in a safe wallet.
Good Advice. I have switched to SSD again. I wanted it on an external I could just leave offline. I will need a SSD external next. This reindexing crashed on me 2 days into it, so I had to start over again. The BTC Core is not even using 100% CPU, mostly just 36%. So it is not even taking advantage of the CPU, and only using less than 350MB ram when I have 16GB. Very frustrating. Yes I should put my eggs in different baskets. Money Management basics. |

Reindexing does not mean it is downloading. It might appear that way, but it is in fact reading the data off of the blk files and indexing them into a database in ldb files. If you were stupid enough to delete the blk files then it will be redownloading. Even so, it isn't the bandwidth of Bitcoin's network, it is your own internet bandwidth that limits the download. The bottleneck for you right now is your CPU and RAM. Reindexing is all on the CPU and the RAM. If you don't have a good CPU and enough RAM, then it will take a long time. For me, I can have a reindex done in about 15 hours. Some people have them done in 1 or 2 hours, others a few days. But the problem is on your computer, not the network.
Fortunately I did not delete the block files, all 46.8GB and growing. Perhaps the BTC network data passing through my system is new stuff and not part of the reprocessing of all blocks. My CPU has an average of 88% CPU idle. I have a quad core MBP with 16GB Ram, my CPU is not slow. BTC Core is using under 350MB of Ram... and an average of 40% CPU. Not using much. My bandwidth at home is 120 MB/s up and down. How can I speed this up if it is all CPU, it should be done quickly. Some command line settings I should try? |

Well the linear stuff is not just the database, but computers in general. They can't just jump around and process multiple things in different orders like humans do. What Bitcoin Core can do is migrate to a more ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) database. That would allow it to recover better from crashes and not have to reindex every time the database corrupts. The only problem is that changing databases would require a huge rewrite of the code to support a different database and then that new version would most certainly not be backwards compatible. It would have to reindex the first time.
I wouldn't even call this jumping around. I would call it going back to a confirmed transaction and looking for the error after that point. The next version would hopefully be backwards compatible, read the current DB/chain on the system and write it locally into the new format, so that it does not need to redownload. The download is the problem. 6 days, because the bandwidth of bitcoin's network is so slow. So I cant buy anything for 5 more days. =( Still better than those mother fuckers at paypal that do chargebacks 25 days after the fact. |

Since the data is read linearly, it won't ever be able to get to the point where it can read good data. Due to the corruption, it will error out and take the safe route of having to reindex the whole thing.
Bitcoin is in alpha development still. That is why version 1.0 still doesn't exist. It isn't stable and ready for mainstream adoption yet, which is why it is still labeled alpha by the core developers.
wow ok. Sounds like nobody thought it would get this big. They need to make the next version use a better database system that is not linearly. Simple fix then to a very big problem. |

I have this problem a lot. Do not use the same addresses over and over. This will prevent crashes like the many ones I have experienced. I am sure glad I was wise enough to create a backup.
This is sad that BTC is so unstable that you can't just use one address. It spams and fattens up the chain for no reason, making it slower to download every time someone has a crash. Very bad for BTC to have this problem. No wonder the mainstream will not adopt this broken tech. It's like in BETA forever. |

Ok, well now I cannot buy anything for a week now that the blockchain is redownloading the entire thing because of one little crash.
Glad the money is hopefully still mine.
But I cant use it now.
One day the blockcain will be so large that any crash may take a month to download.
I have very fast internet, but the blockchain data is a very slow download.

Ok Thank you guys! I was in a panic and very unhappy. I do have a backup. I did create a new wallet and moved BTC, then backed up wallet.dat. The fact that I spent money after the 18th was comforting because I knew I wasnt really broke on that day. This is the first time my only receiving address shows as empty, and as if it had forwarded the BTC elsewhere for no reason. *(for future reference, it's better practice to not use the same address over and over again)
Why is it better to use a different address every time? Doesnt that just spam the blockchain with more crap data and collectively result in making it take a week to download because everyone thinks they need to keep making up new BTC addresses for each transaction? Chill out. I'm 80% sure you're alright and the coins are safe, 95% sure if you have a few backups.
3) do a rescan with bitcoin-qt.exe -rescan (this takes HOURS)
My tipjar: 1GoodRkQnQBsTPnZDvpxCcZYw7KR98arjb
Thanks. I will try a rescan, but it wants to redownload the "chainstate" folder. I am not sure if it is possible to rescan that, if the core deleted it to rewrite it. Wallet file is still here, and I did make a backup, encrypted and put someplace else. I hate that the BTC Core is so stupid it has to rewrite perfectly good data just because one small part went bad with the BTC crash. It cant just find and rewrite that one part, or go back one day or at least back to the day of the most recent transaction when everything must have been ok, and start from that time, it has to go back to day 1! wtf. BTC Core needs to assume the date of the last confirmed transaction was good, and only go back to that date. Not back 6+ years. |

FUCK!!!
OK, I have ***+ BTC.
On 7-22 I spent 0.********** on Purse.io Transaction accepted and completed on record, goods delivered.
Status: conflicted
Date: 7/22/15 05:**
To: 16aWEopdE*******************
Debit: -0.***** BTC
Transaction fee: -0.00001908 BTC
Net amount: -0.**** BTC
Transaction ID: *******************
On 7-20 I spent 0.************* BTC ALSO on Purse.io Transaction accepted and completed on record, goods delivered.
Status: conflicted
Date: 7/20/15 13:56
To: 16aWEo*****************
Debit: -0.********* BTC
Transaction fee: -0.00004079 BTC
Net amount: -0.********* BTC
Transaction ID: a3e523d1*********************
Today I open Bitcoin Core 10.2 and it takes a long time, then says ERROR, and crashed.
I open again. Blockchain data fucked, must redownload everything.
Error? How? Did blockchain.info rewrite the blockchain logs to backdate and steal? HOW?
Because I go to blockchain.info to check my only known account, sometimes I use blockchain.info only to look at my account balance by searching my BTC receiving address. Is this address a secret??
Suddenly my account is $0.00!!!!!!!
It says all my money was sent to another account on 2015-07-18!!
Then another, then another, then another... etc and then parked at a new wallet that is unknown to me.
HOW? How could I be broke on the 18th, when I made transactions on the 20th and 22nd?
My money was still mine and I was still using it to buy stuff on purse.io on the 20th and 22nd.
According to Blockchain.info I have been at ZERO since the 18th!!
Now my transactions say "conflicted", but my blockchain is not finished downloading and will not be for many days.
I spent the money on Purse, received the goods, and paid.
Did someone rewire the logs to make it say I went broke on the 18th and just make the 20th and 22nd transactions conflict?
WTF is going on?
Or does the blockchain just randomly reassign me new wallet addresses and I will see this after the blockchain updates?
How the fuck?
And why the heck does it need to redownload the blockchain when it still has 46.8GB of blocks?
This is stupid that the BTC Core crashes so easy then requires a full re-download! Seriously?
Whose dumb idea was that?
I am freaking out because blockchain.info has ALWAYS shown my balance just fine, until now.

ICQ will not let me register an account with the software.
I can register online, but my phone number is "invalid" according to ICQ. It works, just not for ICQ.
So I will pay someone to create an ICQ account for me.
$5 USD, paid in Bitcoin, after ICQ account is handed over?
Fair?
Lowest bidder gets the job.
Reply or PM me please.

Why have I been banned today?! The ban reason says insubstantial post+sig ad
My posts were not insubstantial etc in any way(at least in my opinion). So may any moderator please give me a more detailed reason? Would be great to hear what I actually did wrong.
You were banned for insubstantial posts and running a signature ad - don't waste the moderator's time when the reason is clear. To be frank - your opinion doesn't matter.  I agree with your opinion that no of posts doesn't matter if they are quality one.. But one thing I wanna ask what's the time to get ban lifted when it happens twice.. There is nothing written but a email given to appeal.. Please provide me a suitable answer.. Thanks in advance.. Josef2000 look, I just quoted you! You said you got nothing but an email about apeal. You said that under the name DDOSbtc. Who as I have pointed out, is does ALL the same activity as Josef2000. You messed up. You are ban evading by your own confession. |

Joseph is mother***** is that make sense to you that I am not Josef.. I ain't begging for him..I am just another victim who had been banned twice..now permabanned. I run my own faucet rotator that is http://freebits.gqI ain't hold any relation with Josef So better you understand it.. And I'm Indian. Why would you be responding for Josef, and not creating your own thread? Why are you confessing to Ban evasion, Mr Josef? You need to be banned for Ban evading. Thank you for confessing. |

A new account with 14 point activity, created right after your Josef account is banned. You say the same things as Josef.. a stupid mistake you made as Bitfree or whatever name that was. And you do the same things Josef does. And you are totally new, and you end up commenting on Josefs thread,, Speaking as Josef and answering for Josef! And you wonder why I refused to do escrow with you Josef? Your escrow could be YOU! The same bitcoin gambling dice signature trash. You are newly created after his ban. And you want us to think you are a random strange new person that ended up in this thread on accident, for no reason? Just a random new guy that happens to: 1) be German, like Josef 2) write bad English just like Josef 3) have a prime dice type signature just like Josef 4) make websites like Josef 5) spesifically bitcoin fausit websites like Josef 6) insult people who bust your lies like Josef 7) threaten people with your ego, like Josef  call me crazy just like ...JOSEF 9) You are created after Josefs ban 10) You are on Josefs thread. 11) You are defending Josef 12) You are responding and answering on behalf of Josef 13) You are in a very random thread that is for Joesf. 14) YOU ARE JOSEF! BAN EVADING AGAIN |

Why are you ALSO creating the same bitcoin fausit? Why are you also rude, and insulting just like him? Why do you speak the same Bad english because you are Also german? Why would you be involved in the same thread, and calling people crazy just like him? Why are you mad Josef? What do YOU have against Josef? Why would you care about Josef at all, or care about being his alt? Because you dont want to be banned AGAIN, and you want me to stop calling you out for using multiple accounts and ban evading! You are exactly like Josef because you are Josef! You do EVERYTHING that Josef does! |

Another offensive words against me will not be fruitful for you...just an advice to you.. Is it crazy that I know you are another alternative account of Josef2000? Why are you offended or angry about it? You dont want to be banned? Maybe you shouldn't threaten people, threaten the forum, or threaten other members with your script kiddie attacks. DDOS is for newbs! DDOS does NOT do anything anymore. Ever heard of traffic filtering? Poof! You are no threat to anyone but yourself. Everyone knows you are Josef2000 AGAIN. Why are you so silly as to reply to Josef2000's thread as Josef, while you are logged in under the wrong name? Silly boy. =) |

It is 2 days old now.
So 1BTC?

My main Account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=359905Name: josef2000 Why have I been banned today?! The ban reason says insubstantial post+sig ad My posts were not insubstantial etc in any way(at least in my opinion). So may any moderator please give me a more detailed reason? Would be great to hear what I actually did wrong. If there is a reasonable reason, I wont to try to complain, but now I just dont know what I did wrong and have no clue why I got this punishment. Thanks Regards, josef2000 EDIT: Ban time is 60 daysWhy have I been rebanned for ban evasion?! And the ban period is "extended"  I am NOT bittyfree or someone else! Pleaseee... Forum mods or admins, sort this out. I have has trades with bittyfree (Escrows like Quickseller, may you confirm it???). I have known him since I startes using bitcoin, he started a faucet bittyfree.com (Equinoxx-the designer please confirm) - I helped him setting it up, thats why we have good contact. Forum mods, please, reply once  Yay you are banned! God I hope they ban your IP address so all of your fake accounts will be blocked! You got busted for being Bittyfree just like I personally said you would when I PMed you. Here is my proof you are bittyfree: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1052681.0;topicseenYou accused me of scamming you because I REFUSED to do business with you and your lame alternative accounts. And after you emailed me asking to mutually delete negative trust comments, and I said NO WAY, you posted with your other account Bittyfree. You gave yourself POSITIVE trust and game me the same negative trust from your other account. You have removed, and or changed your comments since then, and removed your trust you gave yourself, but not before I took some pictures.  More info and other people that hate your trust system manipulation on this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1052681.0;topicseen |
