Title: Bitcoins not showing up in wallet, but are visible on blockchain.info? Post by: tkbx on March 16, 2013, 12:39:46 AM I sent bitcoins to one of my addresses earlier. According to blockchain.info, it's got a positive balance and my one transaction with almost 90 confirmations. When I load that wallet in Bitcoin-Qt, it shows a balance of 0.00, fully synced. Under transactions, it shows no transactions. Why is this happening?
EDIT: To clarify, I partially followed this guide: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_secure_offline_savings_wallet (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_secure_offline_savings_wallet) I went offline, generated my new wallet, quit Bitcoin-Qt, encrypted the wallet.dat with a third party AES program, and srm'd the original wallet.dat. I know it's not as secure, but for the small amount of funds I planned to have in it, the extra steps weren't worth it. I unencrypted it and got my wallet.dat file, quit Bitcoin-qt, and loaded the wallet, and now I'm here. Title: Re: Bitcoins not showing up in wallet, but are visible on blockchain.info?

How to do it depends on your OS, but you didn't say which one you're using. Title: Re: Bitcoins not showing up in wallet, but are visible on blockchain.info?

I'm using OSX, it's inconvenient, but doable.How to do it depends on your OS, but you didn't say which one you're using. Takes a while to rescan, huh? Not done yet, but that's got to be it (EDIT: done, worked perfectly). Thanks for the help. Title: Re: Bitcoins not showing up in wallet, but are visible on blockchain.info?

I'm not exactly sure of it, but I could almost swear inserting rescan=1 in the bitcoin.conf file and starting bitcoin-qt normally would also work. Must try it. That way I'll be sure and won't forget about it again. Title: Re: Bitcoins not showing up in wallet, but are visible on blockchain.info?
