Title: Error: unable to reconstruct public key from signature
Post by: davidpbrown on January 29, 2015, 09:51:12 am

What causes this error?.. and how is it fixed without going back to square 1?

Code: [Select]

0 exception: unspecified
unable to reconstruct public key from signature
    {}
    th_a  elliptic.cpp:488 public_key

    {}
    th_a  common_api_client.cpp:2507 blockchain_list_forks

    {"command":"list_forks"}
    th_a  cli.cpp:626 execute_command

Not critical as I expect there's be another build before I get off fork but it would be good to understand the cause of errors more clearly.

Just to note, I found rebuild_index seems to resolve this; still not sure the cause though.

Not sure what would cause this; possibly a badly formed block somehow got into your database.

I'd removed all but the /wallets folder in an attempt to jump to main chain.
