Bitcoin Watch Only Balance

[qasimilyas99]

Hello,

As we can fetch balance by Import Existing Bitcoin Address on blockchain dot info using Imported Addresses, https://image.prntscr.com/image/c0245a7d43ff4af99e8f9ff9e5c0812d.png , Can we use this technique in Bitcoin Core?

Thank You?

Yes. In Bitcoin Core, you can use the Debug Console, accessible by going to Help > Debug Window and Debug Console.

Your Bitcoin Core cannot be pruned for this to work, else you need a rescan.

Go to Help>Debug Window>Console and key in

Code:

importaddress 192fqgb5aCKrjNkudGqSWR6Nuu4J8tEMB7

. Replacing my address with yours.
