Bitcoin-qt not resyncing...

[DavidZ]

Hi,

My bitcoin-qt wallet unfortunately is not resyncing any more. It is now 39 hours behind. I am getting a warning message which says "Warning: displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade or other nodes may need to upgrade." I'm running v0.8.5-beta under debian linux wheezy/gnome. How can I get it to resync? At least I still can transfer out bitcoins.

Thanks,

David

so what does debug.log say

I'd post debug.log here but I'm not sure if that would be a safe thing to do. Anything I should look for in particular?

I have been getting errors such as these:

those aren't relevant. Look for "Invalid".

Your block database is probably corrupted. Shut down Bitcoin. Go to the data directory and move the chainstate and blocks directories somewhere else. (Keep them for a while in case the devs are interested in looking at them.) Then start Bitcoin, and it'll resync. You could also try deleting just the chainstate directory for a faster resync, but this might not actually fix it.

FYI: My block database was also corrupted recently with unmodified (but self-built) 0.8.5 on Gentoo. I wonder if a recent block/tx triggered this on certain systems.

I moved out chainstate and blocks directories. Bitcoin-qt has now completely resynced.

Thanks.
