Reindexing your Firo wallet

Reindexing your wallet

WARNING: it is highly recommended that you do not proceed unless you are directed here by members of the Firo support team. Reindexing is very time-intensive and solutions sometimes exist for your problem that only takes several minutes to solve.

Make sure you are always on the latest release by going to our release page.

If you suspect that the chainstate is corrupted, please start the wallet with the -reindex-chainstate flag. This will start the Firo wallet and begin the reindex-chainstate process and will take several hours.

If you suspect corrupted blocks, please run -reindex instead.

If you need to rescan your wallet, please run with -rescan instead. This can take between 5 to 30 minutes to run.

Windows

Open the folder where the firo-qt.exe is located. Hold Shift, right-click inside the folder and select ‘Open PowerShell window here’.. In the PowerShell window that appears, type:

.\firo-qt.exe -reindex-chainstate

Linux

Navigate to the directory where your firo-qt binary is. In the Terminal, type in the following:

./firo-qt -reindex-chainstate

If you want to reindex your masternode:

./firod -daemon -reindex-chainstate

Note that the time to finish reindex differs greatly depending on your VPS’ performance.

macOS

Using the Terminal, enter the following command:

/Applications/firo-qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Firo-qt -reindex-chainstate

Firo Rich GUI client (Electron)

To reindex the Electron client, go to the Debug Console, enter the following command and press Enter:

setargsfornextrun -reindex

Restart the wallet. The reindex process will start. Once completed, the wallet’s main interface will be displayed.

If you need the other options, replace -reindex with -reindex-chainstate or -rescan

If you were unable to start the Electron client for some reason, edit the firo.conf in the data directory and add one of these options that you require. Do not add all options.

reindex=1

reindex-chainstate=1

rescan=1
