Added bitcoins from address through Bitcoincore but no balance

[nemesiz8139]

Hello all,

Some days ago I clicked "receive payment" from bitcoincore 64bit and added like 0.8 balance via Swish. Bitcoin core is now fully synced but i still see no balance. I spent many hours trying to google and I gave up therefore I ask you guys instead.

Apologize for my ignorance.

Check the address at a block explorer like blockchain.info.

Yeah, it's there and i can see the amount of bitcoins added. How do I grab them to my bitcoin core wallet?

I've seen somewhere the solution for that, can't find it right now...

Try this, first you dump the private key and then you import it again:


To export a private key from your Satoshi bitcoin-qt client:

1. launch your bitcoin client as usual and wait for it to load the blockchain and start up
2. click on 'help' in the menu bar (top right)
3. click on 'debug window'
4. select the 'console' tab
5. type: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600
6. type: dumpprivkey [your Bitcoin address here]
7. this will return the private key, you can copy it now; ensure you clear your clipboard/history afterwards
8. type: walletlock

Import key:

1. Run Bitcoin-QT
2. Select Help (to the right of Settings)
3. Select Debug Window
4. Select Console
5. If you encrypted your wallet, unlock it by entering walletpassphrase "YourLongPassphrase" 600 next to the > input box
6. Next to the > input box type importprivkey <bitcoinprivkey>

Thanks for the help I appreciate it. How do I get my priv key from my public address that I got from bitcoin core? I just have the public address

My bad, it says that the privkey for that address is not known

that's weird. have you backed up your wallet.dat lately? if so then try doing this and/or the one above that. back up your wallet.dat just in case.

Thanks I will try and return back, I remember that I accidentaly deleted the folder, trying to recover lost files

[nemesiz8139]

I appreciate your help guys, I gave up since I deleted it before which I remember etc. Was small amount of bitcoin added (imo) anyway.
