Title: zero balance on a old wallet Post by: Grouver (BtcBalance) on February 14, 2013, 10:38:29 PM Hello,
It's about this address: 16wJL3gZkrp2QpkszXFaa53twxodpT2kTP It says it contains 1 BTC at blockchain.info. Which is right since I put 1 BTC on it before I saved the wallet.dat file on a USB stick and gave it as a gift to someone. Now the guy tried loading it up... but it didnt show the correct balance of 1BTC, so he called me. I have the same address in my QT client under: "Recceive coins". And if I look this adress up at blockchain.info it shows 1BTC for this address. But according to QT it has 0 btc on it. Even if I try to dump the private key it says : "Private key for address 16wJL3gZkrp2QpkszXFaa53twxodpT2kTP is not known (code -4)" Do I need to rescan or whats going on? Thanks.

Title: Re: zero balance on a old wallet Post by: DannyHamilton on February 15, 2013, 03:52:35 PM I suspect that the first thing anyone is going to suggest is running the client with the -rescan option. Go ahead and try it while you wait for someone else to come up with a better idea. If you had run it when you posted, it would have been done before you bumped.

How do I add the rescan option to my bitcoin client?Do I start the client via the CMD command line with -rescan behind it? I am not sure about this. Thanks.

Should have tried it out before posting. It didn't even took a long time after all. Thanks. Title: Re: zero balance on a old wallet Post by: DannyHamilton on February 15, 2013, 07:44:45 PM Fixed. The rescan option did it. Glad to hear it worked out. I thought I read somewhere that the -rescan wasn't supposed to be needed any longer with 0.7.2 (or maybe even 0.7.1). I'll have to remember that isn't true.Should have tried it out before posting. It didn't even took a long time after all. Thanks. |
