blockchain.info wallet - how to track my wallet

[Seal]

I just signed up to the blockchain.info wallet and I'm wondering how to use it to track the balance from my bitcoin-qt client. I've been adding all of the receive addresses but it does not show a correct balance. Am I doing something wrong? Is there supposed to be a specific address from my wallet that I use to add on blockchain.info?

Do I have to send the entire balance to myself so it shows as a new transaction?

I had the same problem... in my case coins were stored on change addresses.

the whole point of blockchain.info is to give you an easy access to your wallet without a desktop application and without the need to download the whole blockchain.
Why do you want to use blockchain if you're also using bitcoin-qt?

I'm holding a savings balance in a secure environment with the bitcoin-qt client (I'll eventually switch this to cold storage). I'd rather hold a smaller day to day transactional balance using the blockchain.info wallet.

Whats a change address? So the fix is to send the entire balance to a new address within the same wallet and track that new address?

This is just an extra address in your wallet that you don't see in your "Receive Coins" tab. Just send your remaining balance to one of your "receiving" addresses and you should be fine.

That makes so much more sense now. I sent my entire balance to one of a new receive address in the same wallet and track that single address.

Much easier.
