Payments on blockchain but not in Account

[mattboldfield]

I have a major problem!
I mine at eliguis and I am missing two payments.
They show up on blockchain.info so no problem with eliguis.

The problem is my wallet fails to acknowledge them.

I have a screen shot of wallet ready to go, but am unsure how to upload??

I also unistalled bitcoin-qt, deleted %appdata% bitcoin folder and pasted my old.wallet in the newly installed bitcoin-qt. Waited 14 hrs for it to sync and payments are still missing!

What is going on here?



Payments missing are:
2014-03-07 13:32:50 (G) 0.06857834 BTC
2014-03-15 20:42:02 (S) 0.05883705 BTC

thx

as long as you have the private key for the public address you are ok.

check this us an offline import to a new wallet after dumping priv key....but do this offline

then clear out blockchain and down load or import into electurm

Hi thx for your quick reply.
Firstly your comments don't read properly as you have punctuation mistakes. Im not having a go, Im just saying I only speak and read English and your comment doesn't read normally in English.

Secondly I have no idea what you meant can you explain in simple terms, sorry I am pretty much a newbie even after 3.5 months and don't understand keys properly at all.

try launching the client with "-rescan" swich.
it will take awhile to start, but should find the missing transactions.

and don't teach people english while trying to learn anything from them - that will not help you to learn it quicker.

[mattboldfield]

-rescan does nothing, that is why I reinstalled thinking the whole blockchain reload would find it..... next idea please!

[piotr_n]

well, in such case, the only explanation I have is that you don't have the key in that wallet.dat

what does it say when you execute RPC command "validateaddress <address_of_missing_tx>"?
does it say "ismine : true" ?

[mattboldfield]

Hi, it says

{
"isvalid" : false
}

[piotr_n]

can you give us the address, then?

[mattboldfield]

Sure,

[piotr_n]

Looks pretty valid to me and indeed has 3 unpent outputs.
So at least the RPC is wrong, assuming that you are using an actual bitcoin client.

[mattboldfield]

hi, yes it all looks ok, but when I check under mined only 3 of the 5 payments come up.
The ones missing are at the top of the post.
Also that amount missing is not in their whatsoever.

happy to use teamviewer if you wish

[piotr_n]

there is something odd about that two coinbase transactions
I will look into it and let you know.

[mattboldfield]

Thankyou, I also noticed that on a few outgoing payments their were other separate addresses attached to my chosen addresses that I have no idea are for.
As I am only a newbie, I figured that it was part of the group transaction that makes up the blockchain.
Am I wrong?
Those addresses were 1ocsZUCsoNd1S9mMSYBATfoR2L1izh5m2

but it still doesn't explain the eliguis payments not showing???

bro, open a new account on blockchain.info, import your private key (or your wallet.dat directly with their feature) and you will have a clear and up to date view of the balance + transactions

once you do, either send it to cold storage or re-install your local bitcoin client, generate a new wallet, and send it back to yourself (dont use the old wallet after you imported it)

[piotr_n]

his wallet tells him that this address is invalid - it's unlikely that it will let him to export the private key.
though worth trying...

[mattboldfield]

I'll give it a go BRB.

The transaction with:
2014-03-07 13:32:50 (G) 0.06857834 BTC  - https://blockchain.info/tx/e01deb5a9da16da79a8b264d6118372288c135dccc6ee0bce4b57713088ae599
It seems OK.
Your output is even already spent:
https://blockchain.info/tx/1775d4bca4969445122892e576135eba44245628d0274a80dd466f9e1a3fb55d
I don't know why your wallet would not show it in the history, but since the output is already spent it doesn't matter much, does it?

As of this one:
2014-03-15 20:42:02 (S) 0.05883705 BTC
 - are you sure that you dont see it after -rescan?
It is still unspent and your wallet you should see it.

I also don't understand why your client would say "isvalid : false", after "validateaddress 1JJA3L6UGUtrK3MzscbKdWFt8mrv6eHfkk"

None of these two thing should happen and none of them make any sense to me.

[mattboldfield]

Ok I cant work out how to import my wallet.dat at blockchain.info.
I tried dragging and dropping, and it didn't work.
But I did add it as a watch only address and the amount is wrong!!!

Not only that the public key I believe it gives you, uknow the 8 different word thing, well I choose to print as it says not to save it to the PC, well the new window opened and it was blank!
I did copy it but and pasted it too a txt document beforehand. Not good all the same as the print page that was blank and did not load, well once you close that that's it, it acts like you got it ok. That is buggy man, and Im really dubious of this whole bitcoin thing now.

[piotr_n]

I really don't understand your problem - the things you describe just don't add up.

There are 3 unspent outputs on that address, amounting to 0.13981465 BTC.
Are you saying that you have a wallet containing a private key to this address, but less than 0.13981465 BTC in it?

And why are you saying that your client answers that "validateaddress 1JJA3L6UGUtrK3MzscbKdWFt8mrv6eHfkk" would be invalid?
It's quite impossible - even my bitcoin-qt says that it is valid, and I don't even have that key.

Please check again your data.

Ok I will explain again, I am a newbie and half the talk your saying is going past my head about a million k's. Im not a retard, but you need to explain things simply to I get it.

All I got out of that is that one transaction has already been spent, and you agree that why does it not show.

Your confused about the isvalid as much as me!

I have already said -scan did not work and I done it twice. It scanned, but never showed the missing payments. How on earth can you expect the world to take Bitcoin seriously if these problems cannot be understood even by well seasoned user?? The sad part is I am out of pocket here! I seriously cant believe you said it doesn't matter that much!!
