Either your blockchain is corrupted or your wallet.dat is corrupt.

Step 1. Try installing the Snap Shot and see if that fixes it .   (Active Wallet Instructions)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14309285

If you still get the error, rename your wallet.dat to wallet.tek
then restart your tek software , if it opens normally your wallet.dat is corrupt.

If the wallet is corrupt , do you have any old backups of your wallet.dat you can try?
If so try them first,

If not do this,
rename wallet.tek back to wallet.dat (Be sure to have another copy)
copy the tekcoin-qt.exe file into the same directory as your wallet.
Then from the Command Line ,
From the COMMAND LINE in the same directory as the wallet type tekcoin-qt.exe -salvagewallet
           this will take some time , if it works then restart the tekcoin-qt.exe -rescan , this will also take some time.

Hopefully that will fix it , if not
If the Above information does not help ,then your wallet.dat is seriously corrupted and salvagewallet was unable to repair it.
Here are your available options:
1. Dump your Private keys and import into another Tek Wallet.
steps: Open the wallet, Click on Help, click Debug Window, click the Console tab,
For unencrypted wallets: beside > type dumpprivkey (Tek Receive Address) , hit Enter key.
For encrypted wallets:  beside > type: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600 , hit enter, then type dumpprivkey (Tek Receive Address) , hit Enter key.
Copy and Paste the private key along with the Tek receive address into a text document.
Repeat those steps for each of your Receive address that had Tek in them, once you have finished.
Go to your new Tek Wallet installation.
steps: Open the text document created above.
Open the wallet, Click on Help, click Debug Window, click the Console tab,
beside > type importprivkey (Paste your Private Key here) , hit Enter key.
Repeat until you have imported all of your private keys into the new wallet. Then Close & Restart your wallet.
You should be good to go.
      
If all of that fails ,
If all of the above has failed , and you were unable to recover your private keys from any of the backups.
Only 2 options remain:

WalletRecoveryService

Never used them before so post a review if you have used them.

OR

If you are into python programming:
Then check out on how to extract the keys.

Having to go to these extremes are very rare, but corruption issues like these can be caused by malfunctioning hardware & power issues.
Backups on external drives are your best friend.

Good Luck.
 

Let him play. He ain't taking over, but he's got a big mouth and might draw some flies... attention, I meant. Attention. Yeah, that's it. I spoke with Thundertoe, he's not going anywhere.

To be honest, I'm not a great fan of burning coins. But in this context, it does kind of make sense and is worth some thought and discussion. Normally, I would oppose such a thing outright, but here I think it might have some merit. Definitely NOT a stupid idea!

As to the virtual miner (I assume you mean the mining algorithm in the core wallet), that I would leave alone. I dabble in a number of staking coins, and TEK is by far the fastest and most efficient. It generally stakes within an hour of becoming mature, and the worst I've seen (other than a really small block) has been two days. I did once have a block take two months to stake, but it was less than one TEK, and it was an experiment.

Why do we need a 2nd TEK thread?

two. there has to be two

The good part is that blockchains dont ever actually die.. if there is atleast one wallet running

Once this one was a great Coin, now i DO even know where to trade it ...unfortunatly at this point, that doesnt really help

@kiklo, one minor quibble with your last post. If you don't specify an address for dumpprivkey, it will dump ALL keys into a text file with one go. Almost always works.

The rest is right on point, but that adds some extra steps. Sometimes you have to do it one by one if the .dat file is too messed up, but most often it's not necessary to do it one by one.

With that out of the way, you've been one of the best members of this community! Keep up the fantastic work, eh?
