I updated my bitcoin-qt and the newer version, Bitcoin Core, reindexed the blocks. It shuts down every day and now today it says it has to reindex all the blocks again.
Yesterday I sent ~.1 btc to Coinbase.
Is this maintaining a blockchain getting abusive? Some kind of scam to force the use of an online wallet that will incur charges?
Same thing happening here !
bitcoin core seems to never get past the "last 9 days" when downloading blockchain (takes me about 4 days on my win7 laptop !)
After that, when I close bitcoin core and re-start it has to reindix the blocks (second time it's happened in a row, and it takes me about 48 hours to do so !)
Besides making sure that bitcoin core is completely closed the next time I close it, IS THERE ANYWAY THAT I CAN MAKE A BACKUP OF THE BLOCKCHAIN ONCE IT'S FULLY REINDEXED SO THAT I CAN USE THAT BACKUP IN CASE I AM HAVING TO REINDEX AGAIN ?
