make a backup of your wallet.dat

delete everything in the folder where it was

run latest qt

wait for new chain

close client when new chain full

move backup wallet over the one that the qt just created

launch qt with --salvagewallet option

just doing the --salvagewallet option won't do it. It's probably something in chainstate that needs killed, but it's easier to just wipe the whole folder and MAKE SURE YOUR BACKUP IS NOT IN THERE WHEN YOU WIPE IT!

This fixed my issue as well. Thanks again.

Good to here this got fixed.  Still no idea why it happened in the first place?
There were several incidences of wallet corruption on testnet, mainly at the time of wallet upgrades. It happened to me once, and I ran salvagewallet to recover.

Hmmm, I dont remember it being widespread, but if so then this needs to be looked at ASAP.  Even if you get the coins back it is not good for DRK, and then you have rare cases like Camo when you really may not get them back (unrecoverable wallet.dat corruption).
