Can I simply archive the txleveldb folder, when it's done syncing, and simply use the latest copy the next time it gets munged up?  It's the only thing I deleted and my coins are all showing up again. Whew!

Hi, perhaps Tranz or someone else can enlight me Smiley

Checking my add on the explorer ( http://hbn.cryptocoinexplorer.com/address?address=ErmqaiunrcguMEhpDP5uqEQhRKmn3oViWv ) he show me 6706.15625
But on my wallet, only 6679.99642. Diff of around 28 HBN not showing on my wallet.

Did some coin get lost somewhere in my wallet or the block explorer reporting wrong number?  Wallet running fine for many month, update to 1.5 went without trouble.

Is there any way to rescan all my coin to recover/double check all my coin to see if some are wandering around ? Smiley


Edit:
2nd problem  Undecided
Just runned wallet with -salvage flag to check if it would find some of my ghost coin, but nothing more ^^

Now in debug windows (after the -salvage, and even restarted without the flag), with listtransactions it's only return receive coin, and no more all the POS generated.
Before, listtransaction did return every transations: receive/pos/send ...
PS. The GUI still show the pos transactions, and wallet keep minting without trouble.

Did I broke something else ?  Grin


Edit 2:  (Promis, after this one I'll sleep ! Cheesy )

Looks like after the salvage or repair, client did a backup a my wallet named somethings like wallet.number(timestamp perhaps?).bak and a wallet.dat (Don't worry, I did a backup myself too before trying  Wink, just didn't tried to get my old wallet back ^^ )
Just renamed the wallet.dat to something else, and then renamed the wallet.number.bak to wallet.dat, restarted client, and now listtransations is working again, even for the 3 pos i got during this time  Huh

Many things I've to learn still it seems Smiley


The block explorer could be off as well. The other start up switch that may yield the missing(if there truly are any) coins would be -zapwallettxes.

The final thing to try, if you are really want to play would be to remove the blk001.dat the folders txleveldb and database, and then restart the client and it will rescan and look for all coins.

I think the 2 things that you already did, were more then enough. As it is most likely the block explorer that is off, not your wallet.

Anarchy is not chaos.
Now that I've started downloading the blockchain (I have 1yr and 85days... remaining), should I just let it go or stop it and delete the "txleveldb" folder and  "blk001.dat" file and then download/install the latest blockchain file, to speed things up?  Where does that go exactly?  I'm still kinda confused.  At least I know what was munging up the wallet... how'd it get corrupted?  Windows 7 shut it down too fast or force quit it or something?


No problem letting it go. It is always best to create your own index file rather then use someone else.

The reason is still a bit of a mystery to me. It has to deal with how leveldb closes and opens files, and when it flushes to disk. I have put code into HBN that knows when win shuts down gracefully and allows the wallet to do so as well. Are you sure it was a normal Win shutdown and not a power failure or other type of shutdown.

I've seen Windows update be anything BUT graceful several times, especially on laptops. Particularly Windows 8/8.1 (which were the inspiration for me moving on to Linux), but it caught me out a couple of times on 7 too. I have since made a rule of making updates NOT be automatic, regardless of how much Windows nags about it. Once started, the process will screw your computer up badly if interrupted, so I find it better to do it on my terms.

There are a lot of cool things about Windows. I used it for nearly it's whole history, and I won't bash it in general, but it seems that Microsoft recently has been out to screw over their users. Either that, or they lost all their talent to the competition. I've not bothered to look at 10, but judging by RT and Windows 8, they seem to want people to move on to Linux or (shudder) OSX.

Laptop.  If it had been a power failure that lasted several hours, it might have caused a forced hibernation of my system, but then we would have also seen our microwave and other non-network clocks blinking, which they were not.  Also, the laptop would have indicated a drained battery, which it did not.

I know of no other shutdown other than a forced auto-reboot/shutdown due to a Windows 7 update... unless the laptop overheated and shut down?  Hmm... that's a possibility I had not considered... my lappy had been running awfully hot lately.  Dunno why, either.  Maybe I should take it off of full speed in the Power Setting and set it back to Acer-recommended or similar?

I just deleted the "txleveldb" folder (it's sitting in the trashcan, so it hasn't been permanently deleted), but now that the wallet is open, and downloading the blockchain again, it shows 0.00 HBN!!!  Will my balance return, or did I do the wrong thing?


Quote

When downloading the block chain again, delete all files EXCEPT for any file ending in .dat and hobonickels.conf (if you have a .conf file).


Not necessary. Only delete the txlevedb and blk001.dat

Quote

Re-launching the wallet will start downloading the chain.
Your balance may show as zero until the block chain download catches up to where you started having transactions.


Correct, using the 2nd link under corrupt block chain will give you a start point of only a few months ago.

My 1.5 wallet was working fine last night.  I get up this morning and my laptop is off.  Windows 7 update shut down my laptop... *grumble*.  Power on.  Run HBN wallet Qt.... CRASH!  What the...huh?  Oh, more Windows 7 updates need to go in.  Click Shutdown.  Power on.  Rerun HBN wallet Qt... CRASH!  I really hate Windows sometimes... is there a wallet for Ubuntu or other OS that doesn't have to constantly update and shut down/reboot the computer?  I'd really appreciate that...

What is going on?  I have $100 in HBN I can't get to or see... can't even stake them!

I'd post images of the crash, but not not sure how to here.  If necessary, I can send them via Email.  Just want my wallet working again...

If it does turn out to be a corrupt wallet and you are still having trouble, please let me know. I have been able to recover any wallet that has become bad.

I run Ubuntu. You have to compile it yourself, but it's fairly simple. PM me if you run into any issues.

Sorry for the OFF but tell me please, which of the following cards is better
SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R7 250X 2GB/GDDR5 or
ASUS R7 250X-2GD5 2GB/GDDR5
Thanks.

Since they are pretty much the same, I'd go for the cheapest one.

I've had good luck with the Sapphires, not r7 but 7950s
I have 4 sapphire r7 250 2gb that I mine YAC/UTC with.  24/7 for many months with pretty significant overclocks.  No issues.  No idea how good they are for actual desktop/gaming usage.

Thanks for the comments!
