Title: So I need some help and if you can help me I'll give you 1 bitcoin in return.
Post by: k1llin on July 14, 2013, 11:12 pm
I'm running windows 7 and whenever I open my bitcoin wallet (original version) it says my database is corrupted. I've tried deleting the database. nothing seems to work. I have quite bit of bitcoins in there, if I can get my hands on them I'll give you 1 bitcoin :)

Moving this thread to Security because it has nothing to do with Silk Road or Customer Support.

I'll give it a try, a bitcoin  is a bitcoin :)

What does the error message say specifically, is there any error number associated with it? If you want to try to do this over PM I can.

Go to http://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet (obviously the clearnet).

Find your wallet.dat by following the instructions:
Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this: explorer %APPDATA%\Bitcoin

Take the file called "wallet.dat" and import it to the blockchain.info link from above.

You will now be able to access your bitcoins.

In order to do a permenant fix to Bitcoin-QT, wipe the entire "%APPDATA%\Bitcoin" folder. MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THE WALLET.DAT, you will lose BTC if you don't.

Then simply reinstall/rerun Bitcoin-QT

Code: [Select]

okay it finished and i tried adding my other wallet in that folder and then once i add that folder it wont load. so i tired a different client(MultiBit) and it said
"Could not load the wallet file "C:\Users\********\Desktop\wallet.dat".
The error message was "com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException Protocol message contained an invalid tag (zero).""

goto /library/application support/bitcoin/blocks
renamed the index folder to index1
started bitcoin-qt again

or, you can safely delete any Bitcoin-qt files as long as you let the wallet.dat file stay.

Multibit has different types of wallets than bitcoin-qt thus they are not cross-compatible therefore it produces that error.

If blockchain says that it is the wrong password then i'm afraid that is the case and you may be typing it incorrectly. Just keep trying different ones.

I don't understand why it would say the database was corrupted over and over. Move your wallet to another folder, delete everything in the Bitcoin-QT data directory, move the wallet.dat back, start your Bitcoin-QT client and let it re-download the block chain.

When you close it down, make sure the try icon disappears before shutting down your computer, etc., because then the database might get corrupted, but it shouldn't repeatedly get corrupted like that. Also, make sure you have the latest version of the client.

I still think your best bet would be to do a boot run of a Linux distro, clean up your bitcoin client folder and running the pywallet or another terminal app I sent you links too. Yeah it can be a pain in the ass but you can do things effectively with commands in Linux-based systems you can't in Windoze
