Title: Bitcoin Core not showing new incoming transactions after restoring wallet.dat Post by: b52e7705 on September 09, 2017, 01:09:43 AM I am having problems getting new transactions to show up in a Bitcoin Core wallet I just restored.
A few days ago I reinstalled the OS on a machine I run with a full 0.14.2 node (which I compiled from source). I made a backup of my wallet.dat file, reinstalled the OS, and then restored my backup of the blockchain + wallet.dat file. So far so good. I then generated a new address using "bitcoin-cli getnewaddress" and made a withdrawal from an exchange to that address. The withdrawal has been confirmed in more than 10,000 blocks now, but the balance is not showing up when I run "bitcoin-cli getbalance", and the transaction is not showing up when I run "bitcoin-cli listtransactions". More details, and things that look correct:
Things that are incorrect:
All of these things make me think that the bitcoin is secure and not lost, but perhaps somehow I misconfigured Bitcoin Core when I installed it and restored my wallet.dat file. I looked through my debug.log and didn't see anything that looked too suspicious. Can someone give me a recommendation on how to proceed from here?

Run bitcoin-cli getinfo, if the blocks says 484281, you are good.
Though it is not exactly necessary, you can run the client with rescan flag for the client to scan the Blockchain for any transactions that were not included.

If your client is fully synced then your balance should shows up after the rescan is done.

Presuming that the rescan does not fix it - It would be interesting to run a test with a 0.14.2 that was not compiled from source, just the standard download.... |
