I installed MultiBit a few weeks ago and today it's not loading anymore. It displays the following Error in the logs:

The Blockchain "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\MultiBit\multibit.spvchain" could not be loaded. The Error was "org.jboss.netty.channel.ChannelException Failed to create a selector.".

I already tried deleting that file and then let multibit recreate it, but it doesn't help.

What am I doing wrong?

  • Can you see if you are using an older version of Java ? If you do 'java -version' on the command line you should see a version number something like : 1.7.0_40-b43. If it is significantly older than that e.g. 1.6.x then it would be worth updating it and trying again.

It sounds like there is a problem in the locally stored block store file. You should be able to solve this by doing the following:

Find where MultiBit is storing your user data - this is shown on the very first line in the 'Message' tab when you start up MultiBit. (It is also explained in the help in 'Troubleshooting'.)

Shut down MultiBit

Go to your MultiBit user data directory - worked out above - and delete the file multibit.spvchain

Start up MultiBit again

MultiBit then syncs from a month or two ago and you should be running ok at that point.
