I keep trying to load my Ravencoin wallet on Windows 10 and ever time it synchronizes to 483 blocks left it throws up a an "Error reading from database, shutting down" dialog box then as it said, shuts down.

I know this is a noob question but what should I do?

Greetings, your blockchain is corrupted. This happens if your computer shuts down unexpectedly. Unfortunately the only way to fix it is to delete the blockchain and chainstate. There is a console command that will re-download the blockchain. However, it may be easier to enter %appdata% in the search toolbar and open the Raven folder. Your wallet.dat is very important. You should always COPY this to a safe location. The peers.dat contain the ip addresses and ports of active Raven coin wallets. Everything besides these files can be deleted.

You may also copy everything in the folder to a different folder just to be safe while attempting to fix your wallet.

After deleting everything besides wallet.dat, peers.dat, simply start your wallet again. Unfortunately, you will need to allow the entire blockchain to re-download.

If your wallet gives the same error, it is your wallet.dat, and you will need to open cmd.exe as administrator, drag and drop the qt wallet for Raven coin and enter the recovery command (a space followed by '-salvagewallet'). Also, the command line to re-download the blockchain is "-reindex-chainstate". I got this information from this link: https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/issues/527 posted by @nastasache, thanks for that. "shitting down!" Cheesy

Good luck, let me know if it works.

P.S. I really like this wallet so far, it is the first one to actually be smart enough to use port 80 or 443. Grin
