Yes ! When everything is ok I let you know, but it may take 1 month lol !

Isn't it a way to download the blocks from somewhere else than the wallet which is slow ?

How about an update? Is the program still running? Can you see any progress?

Only other way is using bootstrap.dat. But they're downloaded using torrent and the download speed depends on the number of seed/peers. And you'll have to download the entire bootstrap which almost as huge as the current block size. The latest one is here (posted by wayneyoyo).

Edit:
Oh wait. That's not bootstrap.dat but the archived block files. Not much difference, though. The bootstrap.dat download link is posted on the first post of that thread.

about 20 hours yes I have a 4 year old mac

No it been 12 hours !

Ok I checked it is not reindexing, it is downloading the blocks now

Ah. That's good. I think reindexing fixed your problem. Post here if it still crashes after all that.

Ok lol now it's 2 years and 25 weeks, I will let you know in 2 weeks

It's been what, 20 hours? You're still reindexing after all that time? That's not normal. If it goes on for 20 hours more it'll be faster to delete the block files and resync (if you don't mind the redownloading.).

It's been reindexing since 8:37p yesterday.

It's 7:57am

It has reindexed until 2 years and 48 weeks.

And I don't have all the blocks on my computer since I hadn't opened bitcoin wallet since about 1-2 years.

If I go to another disk and copy paste wallet.dat will it work ?

This will work but it would take days to get the entire block chain and you would have to rescan which would also take quite some time.
Are you saying it crashed again when you ran Bitcoin-qt with the -reindex command? Is it running or not?

I had to reindex on my laptop computer in the fall of last year and it took a good portion of a day. My laptop contained an I7-720M with an SSD - the speed of your computer and virtual memory is critical in determining how long it will take.

No because wallet.dat only have your wallet info and not the blocks. This is seems to be an issue with verifying blocks. Something which to my understanding usually caused by corrupted files or bad sectors in harddisk.

And I forgot that you can try downloading the whole blockchain again before trying to reformat.

Yes it crashes always at the same point... "Verifying last 288 blocks at level 3"

WOOOW your command opened the wallet in 1 second !

What should I do now, if it keeps crashing ?

How long does it takes to reindex ?

Few minutes to couple of hours depending on your pc's performance, your sync stats before, and how bad the damage is.

If it keeps crashing then I don't know what to do except to reformat your harddisk (that's what I once did.).

There is nothing after this line,

I suppose the program crash at this moment

For the console

Marie-Stellas-MacBook-Pro:~ Ilan$ /Applications/bitcoin-qt.app -reindex
-bash: /Applications/bitcoin-qt.app: is a directory

Marie-Stellas-MacBook-Pro:~ Ilan$ bitcoin-qt -reindex
-bash: bitcoin-qt: command not found

It's /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -reindex

And in the debug.log, there should be some spaces between each of your sessions. You said the client crashed multiple times so check the last few lines of each sessions which the client crashed on and see if they are the same.

You can copy the debug.log and clear it, by the way. That way the file won't be so huge for you to post it here.

Hey guys thanks for the help and messages my computer was not with me, I was at my GF place :p

I try your solution now

However I'm on mac, will it work with the .exe extension ?

Just omit the .exe part.

today's debug.log

Is that it? We need to see the full thing.

The entire file is huge,

I have omited the .exe part but I get an invalid command

Okay then, first show us the next 30 lines of the log after this line

Code:

2016-06-10 15:35:46 Verifying last 288 blocks at level 3

and also show us what you are typing into the console that gives an invalid command.

Just as an aside. I back up the blockchain as well as my wallet. I don't want to have to download the blockchain again if I have a hardware problem.
