Hello. I am running reindex command right now. "Q:\qt_bitcoin\bitcoin-0.15.1\bin\bitcoin-qt.exe -dbcache=4096 -reindex"
I did not delete anything. I'm not familiar enough with BitCoin-QT files (yet) to know what is appropriate to delete. Reindex has been running for a few hours. Still more than four years behind. :-( At present rate, I should be able to report success/failure in 2-3 days.
Also, at the same time, I am downloading a new original BitCoin blockchain from scratch, using a netbook. Atom processor (Intel) with two cores. Hyperthreaded. This is using WiFi connection. Netbook and WiFi combo is slooow. With luck, new blockchain may be downloaded in 3-4 days. Maybe longer if next door neighbor saturates WiFi.
At the moment, this data corruption event is an interesting problem. But if I did not already have coins on deposit in exchanges, then I would be dead in the water. I think maybe for small users like me, with no understanding of application internals, BitCoin-QT application may not be sustainable.
