Hi guys, I have an issue that just popped up, and now I'm unable to start the v1.1.1 wallet as of a couple of hours ago. Was working fine before that. Now, when I start it, I get a MinGW runtime assertion failed kernel.ccp line 369 having to do with GetBlockHash() and hashGenesisBlock. This happens during loading block index. If I retry/ignore I get Error loading blkindex.dat and the program closes. Any ideas?

Hi vvvortex, try deleting everything in blockchain folder EXCEPT for your wallet.dat file and let the wallet sync again.
That should resolve the issue.

Do you have any idea when the error started? Did u do anything specific?

Nope, just noticed that it wasn't running in my tray anymore (btc and others were still running. No intermittent restart or power flicker, etc. When I tried starting it up again, I got those errors. It's resolved now, with doing as you suggested, although it's still syncing, and I don't seem to have lost anything. I DO do regular backups of my wallet so everythings safe now.

The only thing I can figure out is some random corruption happened during the course of doing other things with my computer. Hell, it's all solid state drives, so maybe a stray cosmic ray or neutrino interacted and flipped a bit? Maybe a quantum-state thingie got untangled?

It's all good now. Thanks for the quick reply!
