Title: Bitcoin Watch Only Balance
Post by: qasimilyas99 on June 06, 2017, 09:39:10 PM
Hello,

As we can fetch balance by Import Existing Bitcoin Address on blockchain dot info using Imported Addresses, https://image.prntscr.com/image/c0245a7d43ff4af99e8f9ff9e5c0812d.png , Can we use this technique in Bitcoin Core?

Thank You?

Try using the importaddress RPC command. https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#importaddress
Also check out this reddit thread to see if helps you. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ewig4/really_like_the_watch_only_functionality_in/

Yes, bitcoin-cli installs to this general location:
"C:Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoin-cli.exe"

Yes. In Bitcoin Core, you can use the Debug Console, accessible by going to Help > Debug Window and Debug Console.

Your Bitcoin Core cannot be pruned for this to work, else you need a rescan.

Go to Help>Debug Window>Console and key in
Code:
importaddress 192fqgb5aCKrjNkudGqSWR6Nuu4J8tEMB7
. Replacing my address with yours.
