I read from a lot of ppl with the same problem, so is the ethereum chain broken? Is it not possible anymore to sync from scratch?
https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases
https://parity.io/parity.html
As I wrote, I already tried the latest Mist wallet. It's the same. Blockchain gets stuck around 3,599,xxx. Havent checked that parity thing, but I assume it's the same.
you wrote that nowhere

Synchronisation failed "retrieved hash chain is invalid"

Apparently there is data missing from your database. This can happen if your PC was shut down abruptly while Geth was in the middle of writing database entries. I don't think there's an easy way our of this, the db is corrupted. You'll have to remove your chaindata
Code:
geth removedb
and sync from the start.Quote
Is there any trick how to get the ethereum wallet synced? No matter what I try (geth + wallet or Mist directly) it always gets stuck around block 3,599,xxx.
Here I already wrote it. However, I appreciate your reply, but unfortunately, I already removed the db six times and started over (with 'geth removedb'). My system did not crash, it was running/syncing perfectly fine until block 3,599,xxx and then the errors appear in the log and it gets stuck.
