How to get balance of an account with P2SH (3*) address in bitcoind

[lorenzoasr]

i'm trying to understand how to calculate/obtain balance of a P2SH address added to my running bitcoind with "addmultisigaddress..." and that is properly displayed by the command "getaddressesbyaccount" (it starts with 3* instead of 1*).

Now, i've created and spent a raw transaction to transfer some funds to that P2SH address, after a while I was able to find this transaction on blockexplorer.com and blockchain.info, so I can assume that funds are regularry transferred.

The problem is that I can't see those coins in my balance, also having more then 100 confirms (i'm using bitcoind v0.8.6). So I can imagine that bitcoind not recognize this transaction directly as mine via the blockchain (10GB+). Is there an alternative way not involving external services?

Thank you

Bitcoind has only limited multi-signature support. For addmultisigaddress to work correctly you must have all the private keys required to spend that address in your wallet.

createrawtransaction, signrawtransaction, sendrawtransaction

No external services needed.

Hello kjj and thanks for your reply!

I used those commands to create and propagate a tx to send fund to my p2sh, my question was about how can I get notified by bitcoind about receiving this tx on my p2sh.
