Title: RFC for feature : force rescan of blockchain against an arbitrary wallet Post by: davout on December 23, 2010, 01:52:17 AM As far as I understand, the client won't pick up the balance available to a wallet if you just drop it in place of another wallet.
So, is there another way other than simply discard your blockchain and force a re-download ? Or maybe I missed something :) Title: Re: RFC for feature : force rescan of blockchain against an arbitrary wallet Post by: theymos on December 23, 2010, 03:33:45 AM Right now you have to delete the block database. It is possible for Bitcoin to re-scan the blocks. It doesn't look too difficult: loop through every block and run AddToWalletIfMine on each tx.
