HELLLLLLPPPPP!   After my wallet was staking apparently it caused a fatal error in Windows and forced a shutdown.  Now when I try to restart the wallet it won't open..."Failed reading from database. pcoinsTip best block is not correct. The block database is in an inconsistent state and may cause issues in the future. To force start use- forcestart".

Say what!!!! I swear none of this has even been remotely close to intuitive!!!! Why, why, do programmers not design software for non programmers??? At least speak in layman' terms! The above error messsage doesn't tell me anything other than the wallet can't open!!!!!!


I had the same issue some months ago. Make sure you saved your backups (some get automatically created) on an other drive. Now start the wallet with the start command "- forcestart". The wallet should reindex the blockchain an everything should be fine. If not, deinstall the wallet, reinstall it and replace the wallet.dat with your backup.

I hope i could help.
