Bitcoin qt database corrupted

---

Delete the blocks and chainstate folders, then load up a backup of the block and chainstate. Hello thanks for the answer. If I don't have a backup. Is their anyway to get back the pivx I had on my wallet? Initially the wallet was received from an other wallet I have on Litebit. That error only indicates that the blockchain is corrupt and not the wallet.

So do not delete the wallet. As for the blockchain backup to sync faster , we have an official Blockchain Backup Snapshot on our github. There is an issue with the client that needs to be fixed. The error is just about the block database - not the wallet private keys.

Back in the day I was maintaining a full Bitcoin node. Last time I booted this thing, it took many hours to catch up with the latest blockchain. SPV is described in the original Bitcoin paper. I refuse to network the machine, I have no USB drive to transfer from it, and bitcoin-qt refuses to do anything until I deal with its giant block database.

The Bitcoin software is structured as client-server: The bitcoind daemon runs an HTTP server on , which bitcoin-cli talks to. After starting bitcoind and waiting an age for it to verify some blocks, bitcoin-cli can list addresses with bitcoin-cli listreceivedbyaddress. I believe light wallets are in the pipeline that utilize a trusted node instead of storing the entire blockchain. I will have to make sure to shutdown the client properly in the future and will backup the blockchain from time to time.

Can you please elaborate on this? Is it common to keep a backup of the blocks and chainstate folders? I only backup my wallet. Screen Shot at 6. This has happened at least 5 times in the past 10 days.

Any thoughts on why this keeps happening so frequently? People have had situations where this occurs for other reasons though.
