Title: Changing wallets ... not seeing my BTCs (Mac OS) Post by: marvinmartian on June 15, 2011, 09:30:38 PM Last week I played around with some CPU mining and managed to make a tiny amount of BTCs on this address:
18d8C9PEqF3Mz25YcotLnjJNaGHYx9qesX Block explorer clearly shows them: http://blockexplorer.com/address/18d8C9PEqF3Mz25YcotLnjJNaGHYx9qesX But unfortunately, nothing is showing up in my client. Here's part of why I think this is. I did the following: 1. Created a new user 2. Started the bitcoin client (which created a new wallet) 3. Exited the bitcoin client 4. Made a backup of the wallet created in #2 5. Copied my OLD wallet.dat from the client that generated the address above into the newly launched client's (#2) directory 6. Re-launch the bitcoin client I downloaded all the blocks but am not seeing the BTCs mentioned above. My client shows 26 connections, 131119 blocks and 0 transactions. It is also of course showing the correct address above. I'm not concerned about the 0.05 BTCs. I am concerned with what I'm doing wrong so that in the future I'll be able to switch wallets and transfer BTCs between wallets properly. Thanks, N Title: Re: Changing wallets ... not seeing my BTCs (Mac OS) Post by: joan on June 15, 2011, 10:12:23 PM Apparently there's an issue with resynching an old wallet with the new blocks.
Try to use the -rescan option at command line. |
