Thank you for your answer, but I did that before ...fully sync wallet - when I change wallet.dat and start wallet again, wallet stuck at "done loading" for 2-3 minutes and:

"A fatal error occured. Zeitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.
EXEPTION: St13runtime_error
CB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30974"

When I start from beginning all going fine up to 79-80% and same error. I'll post later number of block where I get that error.

someone a few pages ago,
Minimum Ram required is 1 gig to run the wallet
Do you have 1 gig of ram?
Do you have any other wallet.dat backups.

Thank you for your answer, but I did that before ...fully sync wallet - when I change wallet.dat and start wallet again, wallet stuck at "done loading" for 2-3 minutes and:

First of all, try to check if you have the up to date state of the blockchain. You may use the link from the ZEITCOIN'S post above to get all the necessary files (make a backup copy of your wallet and then overwrite all the files that are provided in the roaming folder) and then sync it till the end. Then, the next step would be issuing the 'repairwallet' from console in case the balance in your wallet is not accurate.

Hello all first,
I have problem with my wallet.
When I start synchronize everything is good to 79% and ...error: can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30974
First its not latest wallet.dat ...its very old maybe from 2014. File is encrypted and I don't have new one.
Is there any way to fix that issue?
Any help is welcome.

poloniex will be great , we will see than 60sat for zeitcoin )

ok got all my coins off cryptsy before it was too late thank god! now we'll see how long cryptopia lasts. i still think poloniex should be our next target. big volume over there

I just pasted an old back .dat file in the appdata folder, and BAM, my coins were back, so yes, I did something you claim will not work, yet it did Or maybe I dont understand what you mean??

Is there any newer snapshot of a blockchain available? My wallet crashed and I must get a clean version of blockchain. The latest snapshot I found, was the one kiklo uploaded on Oct. 17th (link from the OP), which is more than a month old (approx. 110k blocks old). I downloaded it and started syncing (with some wallet restarts included) and after 12 hours or so I got another crash ('cannot load blockindex' error message) and I have to restart syncing again from October 17th. So any newer snapshot would be really appreciated.

Again,

you can't check the real balance with different backups with obviously different amounts of zeit.
wallet.dat is a simple local database that can be faulty. We had lots of hardforks in the past.
Different backups can have different keypool sizes. That's why you need your latest wallet.dat.

Please rebuild your transaction index with:
zeitcoin-qt.exe -rescan. (Client version should be 2.0.1.7)
The result is the real amount of your zeitcoins.

or/and

Activate the coin control feature and check your addresses and amounts with a block explorer:

@Furio
Are you sure that you have not made a mistake? I sometimes think that with other coins, but put it down to confusion in having holdings in several with similar amounts. I now make a written note of all my balances to keep track of things. I've never had a problem with Zeitcoin though.

Could looking at your addresses with a block explorer help?

Besides the other advice, I wonder whether creating a new wallet and replacing the wallet.dat file with the one you presumably have saved do the trick? I've never had to do this, but the saved wallet.dat file, as far as I understand, should contain info on the addresses and transactions and maybe the amount saved at the time you made the backup. I'm not sure of this. Possibly everything could get updated when you sync up to override saved information. Could anyone give some advice on this?

If this method is valid, it could confirm whether you have confused your Zeit balance with other balances you might have. If you haven't been backing your wallet up, then you have committed a cardinal sin. In that case, shame on you!

In parallel to this, I'd like to know:

1) if simply replacing the wallet.dat file in a newly created wallet with a saved wallet.dat file from an old wallet preserves the saved balance, addresses and transactions?

2) if you did this with a saved wallet.dat file long before a coin had forked and tried this long after the fork, would it work in preserving the old balance? I tried this with an old saved Tekcoin wallet.dat file I had recently rediscovered. I only had a small amount in the wallet, which never minted. Frustrated by this, I had got rid of the wallet from my computer to save space. Tekcoin at the time was riddled with bugs, but since then has improved a lot. When I tried to put my old Tekcoin saved wallet.dat from 2014 into a new November, 2015 wallet, long after a Tekcoin fork, I got a message saying that it recognised my keys as being valid, but that there might be errors with my transactions and addresses? I couldn't get any further since the new wallet kept crashing during rescanning.

Can anyone throw a light on these wallet.dat questions and further, how Furio could solve his problem?

the coin was started in March 1st 2014, thus that would be day zero.
thus March 2016 would start year 3.
