j"1LAnZuoQdcKCkpDBKQMCgziGMoPC4VQUckMo<div class="post">I've written a patch to help automatically validate cached blocks after validation fixes such as the one that was pushed out today. You can find it at<br/><br/><a href="http://fushizen.net/~bd/blockverify.patch">http://fushizen.net/~bd/blockverify.patch</a><br/><br/>or<br/><br/><a href="http://github.com/bdonlan/bitcoin/commit/b205251959448ca99123f2bc95b088bf06d4ef3b">http://github.com/bdonlan/bitcoin/commit/b205251959448ca99123f2bc95b088bf06d4ef3b</a><br/><br/>Upon first run with this patch, all blocks will be verified, and any invalid blocks, as well as blocks orphaned by removal of such blocks, will be removed from the block index. A version stamp<br/>(BLOCK_VERIFY_TOKEN in db.cpp) will be then written to the db; this will cause the next run to skip the verification pass. Any future validation fixes can then simply bump BLOCK_VERIFY_TOKEN to force a revalidation of the block chain.<br/><br/>Note that I may be missing some important steps when deleting the old blocks - in particular, no attempt is made to update the wallet, or to prune stored uncommitted transactions. Review would be helpful.</div> text/html
