Title: How to reset wallet balance? Mine is wrong. Post by: MyFarm on February 16, 2014, 01:48:19 PM A few days ago when that bug was going around, my wallet balance became very skewed. I have 10 BTC pending that I never had and my actual balance is way off (in fact, I don't even know what my real balance is). This is the windows wallet. Is there a way I can get the wallet to reset/recheck the balances?
Thank you! Title: Re: How to reset wallet balance? Mine is wrong. Post by: Sydboy on February 16, 2014, 02:25:22 PM Did the transfer show up in blockchain ? Have you got the ID ?
Did you take a backup recently ? If you have a backup and the transfer does not show up you should be able to load the backup and run bitcoin with the -rescan option.

You didn't specifiy which wallet you are using. I'll assume you're using Bitcoin-Qt? Option 1.
Option 2.
Option 3.
Option 4.
Option 5.
There may be other options as well, these are just the 5 that immediately come to mind. Title: Re: How to reset wallet balance? Mine is wrong.

This just seems like useless advice at best and horrible advice at worst. Title: Re: How to reset wallet balance? Mine is wrong. Post by: Tbone123 on July 27, 2014, 08:33:23 PM I dump private keys then imported private keys in a new wallet and it corrected my problem but is there a faster command than one address at a time? some type of convention like a comma between addresses or is that the limitation without going to pywallet or other program?
Title: Re: How to reset wallet balance? Mine is wrong. Post by: btchris on July 27, 2014, 09:30:34 PM First off, I wonder if running bitcoin with the -rescan option would help?

You can use the dumpwallet and importwallet RPC/debug window commands, e.g: Code: walletpassphrase "my-passphrase" 60 Code: walletpassphrase "my-passphrase" 60 Just be aware that the keys in the export file are not encrypted, so you should probably use sdelete (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx), shred (http://linux.die.net/man/1/shred), or similar to delete it once you're done.

*give it a try if your are running it as your wallet Title: Re: How to reset wallet balance? Mine is wrong. Post by: AliceWonder on July 28, 2014, 07:22:47 AM There also I believe is a recover-wallet option that might work.
