Code:
-ERROR - 1428364614: (BDM_mainthread.cpp:429) BDM thread failed: Block file '/Users/admin/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/blocks/blk00253.dat' is the wrong network! File: 00000000, expecting f9beb4d9

What does this mean? I pray that I don't need to rebuild my Core database.

Did you know there are 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976 possible bitcoin addresses? To put that into perspective, that's greater than the width of the universe in zeptometers (10^-21 meter).

Looks like, for some reason, there's a chunk of data in the file that has 0x00000000 instead of a mainnet block's "magic bytes." Not sure offhand why this would happen. Somebody else will have to comment.

Look at the file content yourself, is it leading 0s?

"f9 be b4 d9" are the first bytes, I think that may have just been a weird bug in Armory

It's possible Armory looked at the file right when Core created it but before anything was written to it, so it read a bunch of 0s instead.

I am having this issue consistently in 0.93.1 Linux.

I leave armory running 24/7 and check on it every few days. Most of the time I'll find this error which means it hasn't been keeping the database updated so it crashes armory and I need to restart and wait for it to catch up.

The issue isn't so much that this situation happens but that Armory considers it's a fatal throw and kills the main backend thread as a result (instead of ignoring this error). Will be fixed in the upcoming version.
