Looks like a corrupt wallet.dat? If you have another backup of the wallet, try that file. You could also try and start the client with a new wallet.dat (move the old wallet and let it generate a new one), let it load, stop it and try the old wallet.dat again. Or, start up with a new wallet and try the 'import wallet' function from the console.
No experience with py here, unfortunately, but I don't think that would work with an encrypted wallet anyway.
Thank you for your help.
I have another backup but with the same error.
I just tried the import function. I'm just a little confused if it is the same command as in bitcoin client. I've tried "help importwallet" to understand, but the command showed is importwallet "filename". I've tried to create a wallet1.dat and then:
importwallet "wallet1.dat"
It returns the following:
Cannot open wallet dump file (code -8)
Am I doing something wrong?
Did you specify a path like so? /home/user/yourwalletfile
Also, make some copies of your left over back up, just in case in the process this one gets fried as well.
-Did you specify a path like so?
Yes, I did. When I put it in parentheses " ", It return a blanc line. Otherwise, it return the aforementioned error.
-Also, make some copies of your left over back up, just in case in the process this one gets fried as well.
I have two backups, one on an external hard drive and the other on a flash drive.
Thank you again!
Can you hit me up on Mattermost (
https://mattermost.terracoin.io/)? It is easier to do tech support on there. I can't look at it tonight (Weekly Update night), but I can look at your wallet.dat file tomorrow. I have fixed a bunch of old wallet.dat files at this point.
@samspaces Thanks for helping! You are spot on with your advice!
