ubuntu@ip-172-31-16-165:~/bitcoin/src$ ./bitcoin-cli -testnet getaddressesbyaccount "" [ "2MxoU6Sz8gyWfLCF2b8a8Wv56VT1MHdSB2x", "2NEquFrdTthcctUv3tUkeNU7FbbkgMT2812" ] Then, i go to https://blockchain.info/search?search=2NEquFrdTthcctUv3tUkeNU7FbbkgMT2812%22 The webpage told me unrecognized search pattern. Is the bitcoin core address not recognised ? I go to https://blockexplorer.com/ The webpage told me "no matching records found".

However here is the link for one of your addresses and we can see that it has balance on the test-net, note that for this I used blockcypher explorer as they have an option for test-net as well as for main-net: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/address/2MxoU6Sz8gyWfLCF2b8a8Wv56VT1MHdSB2x/ - balance 1.1btc at the moment of checking. and this one is empty: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/address/2NEquFrdTthcctUv3tUkeNU7FbbkgMT2812/ Main-net addresses begin with "1" , "3" or "bc1" depending on which function you use for generating the private key.
