Straight up this don't happen with any other coin, so don't blame hardware, just not going to put up with that .... it's the one and only coin I have ever had do it, on top of which it happens on all platforms, again, don't blame hardware. Don't mean to be rude, I am asking for a fix to this, not to have my hardware be blamed for something no other coin has ever had the problem of.... thanks for your input
I don't mean to be rude either. My reaction came after I saw that user galixxx "solved" his problem by "starting over"... and not mentioned the system restarts (a thing that most users "forget" to mention and/or do). Also, my point about windows operating systems being very forgiving with filesystem errors still stands, even in the case of NTFS (which is a very robust filesystem, btw).
User vagos mentioned very clearly he encountered that problem
once, after a power failure and he solved it by reinstalling the wallet and the blockchain
and restarting the machine.
Your claim that OKcash is the only coin whose wallet gave you grief after the power failures made me check your post history... and, lo' and behold, some pattern emerged...

Trust me, the devil we're looking for is in those details... Mounting filesystems is similar in both worlds, windoze and *nix/linux, filesystems errors are treated in similar ways... it's just the user-observable effects that make a difference.
I uphold my previous statement: it is not the OKcash wallet/daemon's fault, it is the filesystem corruption.
Engineering is cool, but it takes a lot of science and patience.
ONLY GOING TO GIVE ME GRIEF IN THIS FKN WAY SMART ASS... Yes I ask politely and get polite answers, answers that make sense well then you deserve my patience, feed me bullshit, talk to me like a kid.. well simply put you can shove it... The fact still remains, OK cash is the only coin to Corrupt the damn wallet file on a fkn power failure .... Dispite a long list of coins I have invested in and cold stored
Mega coin
Noble Coin
NOXT
EAC ( as you linked above)
Lets see...
Bansky coin
One coin ( the Original with ONE coin we all fought for )
Tesla coin
Rubby Coin
Dogecoin
BTC of course...
These are just to name a few without pulling out my files and looking ... so you can take your smart arse attitude and stick it ... talk all about files systems and how it's not one else's fault, But I cannot agree with such a long list of active coins I hold / and Have held, In a desert town with at some stages weekly power failures (Currently living in a city though mind you and having new hardware too) that it is as you say, a file system /hardware problem, Why do none of these other coins have a problem ? why ? doesn't make sense to me, not one bit... you want to treat me like an idiot and talk down to me, that is fine too, I'll take my own input and invest myself in people who deserve it. Thanks for the profit ! it's a wild ride !
First: I didn't intend to "give you grief" and thank you for the compliment.
Second: My dad has a PhD in a "hard-science" and a lot of industrial and research electronics experience and I still have to explain some IT&C to him in much simpler and detailed terms and comparisons than I used in this thread. It might be a flaw in my manners too. Don't take it too personal, 'cause it is not.
Third: "The fact still remains" that configurations and circumstances can vary wildly and a proper diagnostic of a perceived software flaw requires much more information than you (and many other users) gave, hence the "fireman" approach taken almost all over this thread: save wallet, reinstall from scratch, use bootstrap, reboot. As an example case: a x64 PC with 16 GB RAM DDR 3 and an average mechanical HDD of 1TB capacity and 16MB cache running Windows 7/8.x is very prone to filesystem corruption in case of a power failure, but it will "hide" that from user until the next reboot, when the message prompting the user to cancel the disk check might go unnoticed (the user is having a happy time with a beer/spouse/kid etc.) and the system seems to take ages to boot (but it eventually boots fine and works fine if it is allowed to correct the detected issues) or, even worse, the user cancels the disk check and the errors keep piling up until everything works so awful that the user decides to buy another machine.
Fourth: Cold storage is not affected by power failures, so mentioning a lot of alt-coins cold stored in that context is irrelevant.
Fifth (and final): I'm not treating anyone like an idiot because I hope I am not one. Chill.
