Well it looks like you have a corrupted database. Try reindexing.

Probably you are right. I deleted 2 block files and now it is indexing everything all over again. i am 4 fkn years away from today now. That's why i hate core wallet. I will move to electrum as soon as possible. Never core again.

Although electrum is a great wallet, Bitcoin core is still better. It's a compromise you make by synchronizing it everyday if you use your PC everyday. I think it's worth it if you have a good ADSL connection which is common nowadays. If you want to switch to electrum for ease of use I can understand. I use electrum my self but only for small amounts, have switched to hardware wallet for my main coins.

From Turkish to English:

"Error: A fatal internal error occurred. For details see debug.log."

It happened before too but not like this. This is happening too often now. I am using zenmate, i don't know if it causes the problem but i used it many times before without a problem.

Can you post your debug.log file? It may be possible that data is getting corrupted because of zenmate. Have you tried using it without zenmate on?

I've gotten sick of the core wallet. It keeps giving errors and downloading useless crap.

What kind of errors? Useless crap? You mean the blockchain right? Core needs the entire blockchain, which is most certainly not useless crap.

Quote from: mindrust on October 06, 2016, 01:00:48 PM

Is it possible? How do i do it? Basic cut/paste of wallet file would work or is there a more complicated way? I don't want to transfer my funds directly to the new electrum address because i signed a message 1 or 2 months ago and i don't want to lose my address. What should i do?

You have to export the private keys of all of your addresses and import/sweep them into electrum. To do that, go to Help > Debug Window > Console and type

Code:

dumpprivkey

where

is the address you want the private key of. You must do this for every single address in your wallet, including change addresses. Then take the private keys and make a new Electrum wallet from the option to import or restore a wallet.

Out of nowhere an error pops up, the message says: "a fatal error occured". It happened twice today. Forgot to get a screenshot. I will post one if it happens again.

About the core files, since i don't have to download them when i use electrum, then they are useless for me. Not useless for the network i get it, but me

Thanks.
