Title: Transaction not showing up in Bitcoin-Qt Post by: jerye on April 29, 2013, 01:30:06 PM I sent a transaction to one of my address while the wallet was syncing with the blockchain (10 or so blocks behind). Once it synced, I don't actually see the transaction in my wallet but I see the transaction on blockchain.info. I sent myself a new transaction and saw that Bitcoin-Qt noticed the transaction. Is there anything I can do about the previous transaction?

Title: Re: Transaction not showing up in Bitcoin-Qt Post by: DannyHamilton on April 29, 2013, 05:29:06 PM If you're sure that the transaction was sent to the correct address, then it is a bit surprising that Bitcoin-Qt did not see it.
To force Bitcoin-Qt to search through the blockchain for any transactions it may have missed you can do the following: Shut down Bitcoin-Qt and wait for it to exist completely. Figure out how to run Bitcoin-Qt from a command line interface on your operating system (You didn't mention what operating system you are using, so I can't offer instructions here). When running it from the command line interface, include the -rescan option Wait while Bitcoin-Qt scans the blockchain loking for missed transactions.

Am using windows and tried the --rescan option from the debug window but that did not work. :P

If you need the rescan option in the future, you need to completely shut down Bitcoin-Qt and then run it from the Windows command line with a -rescan command line option. |
