Hi, no i dont have the folder open anywhere

here is the rest of the log

~

Your best option is probably to try running the -reindex command and see if that fixes your issue a bit. Unless you can run/have run any hard drive testing software that has found a problem in the hard drive, then this error may likely continue.

Also, do you have ANY antivirus installed, there were rumors that at least one block in the main chain got deleted from the blockchain by antivirus because someone decided to add a virus signature to a block (not to be malicious intentionally but probably to see if it caused AV issues from the blockchain itself - which was proven).

any ideas what is wrong? I am really struggling to get my node up and running, thank you

You don't happen to have that folder open anywhere do you?
Was it able to obtain "a LOCK on the database"?

Can you post from the startup of that instance of bitcoin core of the debug.log.
You could try reindexing it or checking the stability of your hard drive/defragment the hard drive using optimisation tools.

When this problem arrives:

1. Your HDD might be full
2. You may be using a very old indexed drive (Try reindex the drive)

You can change your blockchain default drive location by first locating your blockchain directory. This could be found in the /Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/. Copy the directory folder and and paste it in another drive which is free and then right click and go to properties and paste the code in Target.

Quote

-datadir=your drive name:\BitCoin

Now you can restart your wallet and everything will be fine.

Ask me for Pools, Nodes and Explorers.

Seems like you have installed some of the files on external drive.
Do you have sent any bitcoins to the wallet that you are trying to open? If not, the smartest way would be to uninstall the application.
Please provide some more information, and if you have any private keys that you need on the wallet.dat and i'll help you to backup and restore them correctly to new installation of Bitcoin Core.

I read the debug log and it says that the disk I am using doesn't support 000001.dbtmp:

I was trying to use an external drive. obviously it doesn't work that way .

How can I change the drive?

https://bit.ly/387FXHi lightning theory

Can you post your debug.log?
How healthy is your hard drive/computer, how much space does your hard drive have free also?

Can you post your debug log as well. Presumably you're using Windows so by default it's c:\users\[yourusername]\appdata and in a folder named bitcoin either in the Roaming or Local subfolders of appdata.

HI Everyone,

I am new to bitcoin world and just wanted to support the network by downloading the full node on a dedicated Mac computer.

I knew it's going to be a steep learning curve especially for a non computer gig like myself and I was stuck right at the start.

When I try to open the bitcoin core application, it comes with a error message " error opening block database" " do you want to rebuilt the block database now"
I click ok and it comes wit " error opening database" and it closing the application. I have tried to delete the application and install again but I had no susses.

I would love to have someone give me an idea of how to tackle this problem.

Thank you for your time
