For some reason today, the Monero wallet stopped connecting to the daemon. The best reason for the error I could find is this: Attempt to get block from height 1396361 failed -- block not in db

So I tried to download a fresh version of the GUI, reboot computer, upload blockchain manually, and whatever else I could find to troubleshoot or fix. No luck.

I just want to start fresh. I have my key, so would like to start over and restore my wallet. But I tried deleting everything and starting over, but daemon will still not run.

I'm on Mac OS X Sierra. Any advice?

Unfortunately, this looks like a corrupt blockchain database.

With 0.11.0.0, monerod has a --db-salvage option which might be able to recover your database. Exit monerod, and run it again with that option appended, eg: ./monerod --db-salvage.

Otherwise, the only fix for tis is to exit monerod, delete the blockchain (~/.bitmonero/lmdb/data.mdb) and start monerod again. It will then sync the blockchain again. Nothing needs to be done with the wallet, the GUI, etc. Just the blockchain.

You need to rebuild the database using -reindex to go back to unpruned mode. This will redownload the entire blockchain.

Do you want to rebuild the block database now?
