Title: Checking bitcoind wallet without sending funds
Post by: samspaces on December 04, 2015, 12:20:24 AM
Hi,

I know it's bad practise to have 2 machines running a full node on the same wallet. None the less, it happened.

As I'm not sure if the balance the daemon shows comes from the associated addresses (and might not have certain necessary private keys) my question is: is there a way to check that the funds are indeed spendable.

Thanks.

Run Bitcoin with the -rescan switch.

Did a start up with -rescan. Balance on 'getbalance' is still the same. That means all is well, right? Would you recommend I do anything now?

That should be accurate. -rescan causes Bitcoin Core to re-check all block chain transactions for changes to your wallet transactions.
