hope this is the right place for this.
am trying to setup a solo mining pool with slush server, bitcoind, with 3 avalons connected to a secondary router within a LAN behind a primary router.
slush server was running fine when i went away for a few days. came back to a shutdown. this came up when i went to restart:
cypher@server:~$ bitcoind -blocknotify="/home/username/git/stratum-mining/scripts/blocknotify.sh --password x --host localhost --port 3333" -daemon
cypher@server:~$ Bitcoin server starting
: Error opening block database.
Do you want to rebuild the block database now?

y: command not found
how do i respond to this?
Run bitcoind with -reindex . That should fix it (it will take quite a while). Just don't forget to take that flag off the next time you start up. Just some advice...while it's novel to try solo mining and everybody should at least try it out once, you may want to reconsider. At today's difficulties, 3 avalons is going to have some massive variance. You're only expected ~1.2 blocks per week assuming 200 GH/s. It is not unheard of to have a block take 8 to 10 times the expected amount, during which time difficulty will only climb higher, further reducing your expected time. Of course, you could easily get lucky and end up making a lot more
