Title: Bitcoin Daemon shows 0.000 balance
Post by: Sladexz on May 04, 2014, 09:29:19 PM

So I'm running bitcoin daemon on Ubunutu, I set it up flawlessly. But, now I tried sending bitcoins to the account and after 30 minutes the balance still shows as 0.00.

Code:

root@coinose:~/.bitcoin# bitcoind getbalance
0.000000

Code:

root@coinose:~/.bitcoin# bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 90100,
    "protocolversion" : 70002,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.000000,
    "blocks" : 139506,
    "timeoffset" : -94,
    "connections" : 13,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 1888786.70535305,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1399234320,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Also, if I try check a random address, I still get 0.000 balance.

Code:

root@coinose:~/.bitcoin# bitcoind getbalance '183AJDzVDqfbpgsx3HTmqjPAQPZwCvsUmZ'
0.000000

What can I do to fix this? I've setup the RPC user and pass and added a node. But I'm still not sure.

You have only downloaded 139506 of the 299134 bitcoin blocks. It takes about a day to download and verify the blocks on a normal processor and network connection!

It took me 2 weeks to only get 243613 blocks and it's increasing too slow.
Any reasons? (I followed this [http://linux.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/] tutorial to install my daemon)

You may need to do -rescan too once you add an address.

This, get a SSD for your linux box, it took me little less than a day.

I'm guessing you're on a VPS. You can bootstrap off a recent point in the blockchain, to save you downloading the full thing, especially if signature verification is holding up the process.
