Title: How to check my address balance in regtest? Post by: topflankerkiller on November 28, 2017, 09:03:07 AM I have created a regtest address and I want to check it's balance.
I have run the commands: -regtest generate 101 -regtest getbalance -regtest sendtoaddress n4MN27Lk7Yh3pwfjCiAbRXtRVjs4Uk67fG 10.00 -regtest generate 6 -regtest getbalance n4MN27Lk7Yh3pwfjCiAbRXtRVjs4Uk67fG after the 5th step the balance is still 0. Why this happened since I have already sent 10 BTC to my address? Do I have to sign any outputs in order to claim the bitcoins? https://i.stack.imgur.com/yoLwB.png Title: Re: How to check my address balance in regtest? Post by: achow101 on November 29, 2017, 06:02:56 AM You are calling getbalance with a parameter. The parameter is for an account name, not an address. Accounts are different from addresses and wallets. They are a Bitcoin Core only internal thing. There is no way to get the balance of an address unless you add it to an account first.

But how can I add an address to an account in Bitcoin-core? Title: Re: How to check my address balance in regtest?
