I get this each time I try to open my bitcoin-qt
System error: CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30974
I can't find any posts showing that same error #.
I installed a new copy of bitcoin-qt on another computer and tried both my wallet from the old one then my backedup copy of the wallet. Both still caused this error. It happens if I try to do anything with the wallet. If I just let it sync it runs for a while then shows the error. Once it shows the error I am forced to press ok and the program closes.
Both machines are running Ubuntu.
Any ideas?

1. backup your wallet 2. get pywallet 3. extract all the private keys 4. delete wallet (not the backup!) 5. import your keys |

If you're going to import the 100+ keys from your wallet you should use pywallet's ability to import a file full of private keys

I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but when I go to import.
I got a lot of errors like this when I tried to import:
2013-04-18 11:22:19-0500 [HTTPChannel,1,127.0.0.1] Hexadecimal private keys must be 64 or 66 characters long (specified one is 34 characters long)

I think you're trying to import a private key in WIF format: so you must uncheck the 'hexadecimal' check box |

Hex, is not checked. On a retry I got it to say that it imported, however no coins show in the new wallet. Tried merging too, no luck.

So Hex is not checked but pywallet says "Hexadecimal private keys must be 64 or 66 characters long (specified one is 34 characters long)" ?

It may have been when I tried before, but this time it wasn't checked and still failed. In any case I have fixed it. I went to: https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-walletDropped my wallet.dat file into their page, it imported my keys without issue, I then created a new wallet on my pc and sent myself my coins. Thanks for the help. |
