Re: Namecoind won't start with restored wallet.dat

did you compile yourself? probably you need to delete block chain.. this just a guess:- i had this error before.. I THINK it was because it was compiled with different db version - we compiled the qt with db4.7.5.. but phelix easywinbuilder used 4.8.3.. (now all is with 4.8.3) so if you used the ol...

Namecoind won't start with restored wallet.dat

I've tried to reload my wallet.dat from disc in Windows and Linux Mint. On both there are issues. Here is the error I get in Windows. I will try and post the Linux error later if needed.

Thanks will check it out later. Final question if I may:

What are the rpc settings and why are they necessary? If I lost these would I loose my coins?
