From f261f19b4b77de7b2769a62356b4e4165cae6dc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Casey Rodarmor Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 17:42:03 -0400 Subject: Give a better error message if system clock is bad Fixes #2007 This checks to see if the system clock appears to be bad and gives a helpful error message. If the user's clock is set incorrectly, hopefully they'll abort, fix it, and then save themselves a fruitless resync. --- src/init.cpp | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/init.cpp') diff --git a/src/init.cpp b/src/init.cpp index 365bd30714..fc979f059d 100644 --- a/src/init.cpp +++ b/src/init.cpp @@ -1225,6 +1225,18 @@ bool AppInit2(boost::thread_group& threadGroup, CScheduler& scheduler) LogPrintf("Prune: pruned datadir may not have more than %d blocks; -checkblocks=%d may fail\n", MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP, GetArg("-checkblocks", 288)); } + + { + LOCK(cs_main); + CBlockIndex* tip = chainActive.Tip(); + if (tip && tip->nTime > GetAdjustedTime() + 2 * 60 * 60) { + strLoadError = _("The block database contains a block which appears to be from the future.
