Title: Satoshi client - Not showing confirmed transaction Post by: Black Arrow on April 06, 2013, 06:29:25 PM I sent .17 BTC from my wallet on blockchain.info to a receiving address 1NLQZ7ZUA4JcoYU7uKTX3FDJ3buLinNJK8 contained in my installation of version 0 .7.2 of the Satoshi client. If I look this transaction up on blockchain.info there are 7 confirmations. When I open the Satoshi client my wallet shows a zero balance even though my blockchain database is completely up to date and there is a green check mark in the bottom right of my bitcoin software.
Have I somehow lost these coins? Is there a way to make them appear? Thanks very much.

Another, much slower and klunkier way of getting your wallet to re-read the transactions is to install a newer version of the client which causes the database to be re-indexed and when it is finally finished the missing transaction shows up.
