Balance doesn't change bitcoind

[makeholer]

Im trying to use testnet, generated some addresses, when i type "bitcoin-cli getaddressesbyaccount main" i can see the addresses like this


[
  "mfa1WF1oh4nYpVBNrswREzxCqzZBkNmaFc",
  "mqZiAjeiigg9PXiZBnceNgWuoALvbNYryr",
  "n1zGuGPwXM43t2xJhWbyQaYrQSCB8rwnuH"
]

Them i send some faucet to any of them, and the btc never reach the account, when i type "bitcoin-cli getbalance main"

it always say balance: 0

Tried many faucets and it shows my balance bitcoins on the transaction (website).

What im missing?

Don't use "main"... the "account name" parameter has been deprecated according to the docs. try just using:

Code:

bitcoin-cli getbalance

or

Code:

bitcoin-cli getbalance "*"

If you're still getting 0.00000000 using getbalance, then maybe it is simply because your testnode is not synced and it hasn't seen the transactions where your addresses receive the faucet payments. Try checking:

Code:

bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo

and

Code:

bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

And make sure everything is as it should be (connections OK, number of blocks = current testnet blockheight etc)


EDIT: quite likely just because your node wasn't synced... TestNet can be a bit "odd" at times
