I always shot the client down before is stop my computer.
But this morning my computer was blocked. I couldn't change from any program, any webpage, ...
The mouse of my computer stayed fixed at the same place.
I have been waiting for at least half an hour, and nothing changed on my computer. I couldn't do anything anymore.
So i used the "reset" button and when my computer started up again, i could open again everything.
BUt when i opened my BTC wallet i got an error on the blockchain and had to restart the download of the 6 years ... weeks again.
Again a work for a week or so.
Is there a way that you can recover your BTC wallet for the last date you downloaded the blocks.
I have a backup of my wallet and there i see the transactions and the amount i have in my wallet, but they will appear clear when the date of the blocks are coming in.
Its very unlikely that you actually redownloaded the data. After a crash the data often has to be rescanned though, which can take some time depending on your machine. IIRC after a power outage a while back it took me a day or so to rescan all the data on a 4. Gen i5.
If you assume this happens regularly you can avoid this by doing regular backups of the entire bitcoin core data directory. This will however eat up disk space.
If you want to move to a different wallet the best way to do this is to sync up once more and transfer all coins once to a new wallet afterwards.
That's a good suggestion.
I will do it so in the future.
My computer is about 6 years old as well and doesn't work very fast i think.
Next year i had the plan to buy a new (and faster one).
Thanks for helping.
