[BOUNTY] MULTIBIT WALLET HELP

[BTCBuyer]

Hello All,


My multibit wallet won't connect to the block chain, and I can't reset it. When I try to reset it, it just says "connecting" on the lower left corner the whole time.

When I check the logs this is the message I get

The error was "com.google.bitcoin.store.BlockStoreException com.google.bitcoin.store.BlockStoreException: File size on disk does not match expected size: 0 vs 641024".

If you know how to solve this, I am willing to give you a bounty of .10 BTC

backup keys and re-install ?

What system (hardware and software) is this? Are you using the latest version of Multibit? Have you tried backing up your wallet, uninstalling Multibit and reinstalling it? Also, is that the full text of the error? Is there any traceback information before or after that, saying anything about where in the code the error is? Which line it's at, which function, anything like that?

Multibit Wallet Version 0.5.10

I am not familiar with the process behind backing up the data, this is the mac version.

Download the latest version, v0.5.16, from https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-0.5.16/multibit-0.5.16.dmg.

Once you've installed that, see if it fixes the problem. If not, the next step would be to try backing up and deleting (or just moving/renaming) the settings and other files, but an update may fix the problem, and if it does, it's easier than going through the process of moving the files out of the way.

Can you create a new wallet ? If yes does it connect ?

This has worked for me a few times.


1) Turn off your modem and unplug all cables connected to it and turn off your PC (DISCONNECT ANY POWER SOURCE), all for at least 10 seconds, after that re-plug the modem and turn on your PC


2) If that does not work, back up your private key, and wipe out the data (uninstall) to the client and update to the newest one and re install your wallet's keys


I hope that works for you.
