Corrupted block database detected.

[addamnorth]

Upgraded to .13 wallet. Closed old wallet, installed .13. reopened, now i get the “Corrupted block database detected.” And then it says, " Do you want to rebuild the block database now?" I’m rebuilding it now, if that doesn’t work, any thoughts on what I need to do? Thank you in advance!

if the blockchain database is corrupted.

You should

1 - back up your private keys
2 - backup your wallet.dat
3 - verify both backups like a good boy
4 - delete the blocks and chainstate folder in your datadir

5 - start Feathercoin-qt again and let it resync.

That happens when upgrading to 0.13

The rebuild of the database will work and your coins are safe.
If not, follow the procedure @AcidD described.

Marked as solved!

@addamnorth - it’s always a team effort. I was taught by some of the more senior community members who have been around for much longer than myself.

I have them to thank :-)
