So I had a very brief power outage today and now sparrow won't connect to the node again. So strange. My only guess is that because bitcoin core didn't shutdown properly it's causing some issue. Am I just going to have to reinstall bitcoin core everytime my pc shuts down abruptly?
If the issue only a corrupted file brought by the abrupt shutdown and only in Bitcoin Core, then
--reindex might solve the issue.
It's a command-line option and not a command so; to use it, Bitcoin Core should be started with that parameter (
instructions).
Ran the reindex but sparrow still wouldn't connect. Also tried rescan also with no luck. I was able to get sparrow to connect again by deleting the sparrow wallet folder in Bitcoin core.
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin/wallet/sparrow
After deleting that and restarting Bitcoin core sparrow is connected again. I've also ordered an ups battery backup to run the node and router/modem off of so hopefully this problem is resolved now.
