it's normal?
I don't see any obvious error or problem with that output...

It is simply showing that it is updating with each new block that is received and parsed. Note how the "height" number is incrementing. Looks like it's a little over 26.5% synced... the "progress" value is the percentage (divided by 100)... so 0.265078 * 100 = 26.5078%.

thanks for your useful reply  Kiss

Is this already know by devs? Anyone opened an issue on Github? (I'm sure you did, obviously)
If achow101 knows, I'm sure it's known at the right places. I didn't open an issue myself.
I want to test what happens if I re-download the entire blockchain with the same watch-only wallet instead of just doing a rescan, but as always I don't have enough time for everything I want to do.

I know the feeling, for sure.

That seems to be a bit of an issue indeed.

I don't want to insult you because I don't know your level of knowledge, but you did the rescan, right?
Yes. Don't worry about insulting me, if only the problem would be that simple Tongue It's worse:
From Bitcointalk Party - Discord server (05/25/2020):
Quote from: LoyceV
Quick question... I have Bitcoin Core, import 145 addresses read-only, type "rescanblockchain" in Console, wait 2 hours, and none of the old transactions show up. Only a transaction received today shows up. Am I missing something?
Quote from: Csmiami
how did you import them in first place?
Quote from: achow101
there are soem ... issues with imports and rescans
issues that are difficult to reproduce and nail down
Quote from: LoyceV
I imported them through Console: copy/paste all at once.
The "issues" I guess I ran into :stuck_out_tongue: I've never had this problem before, but I'm not using the latest version of Bitcoin Core, so the "issues" might be fixed already in later versions.
Quote from: achow101
might not be fixed. I've ran into import and rescan issues before in various versions of the master branch and haven't been able to figure out what was wrong
Quote from: Csmiami
it is not; I tried imported one when Loyce posted (to try some new stuff out) and after the whole rescan (debug log shows it's completed), the balance shows 0

I trust achow101's knowledge on this. So Bitcoin Core has "issues with imports and rescans" Sad

I imported an address that had 2 inputs and 2 outputs and I didn't thought about that. So, there were no unspent utxo's to show. Address was empty and I was expecting to see the transactions there. The 2 inputs and the 2 outputs. My bad... What can I say. Sad
I recently found out that importing addresses into Bitcoin Core has some bugs: the balance doesn't always show up. I tested this with 145 old addresses, and only one very recent transaction showed up, while it didn't show the old balances.

Nevermind.

I think it's fixed.
Did the balance just show up? or did you do something else after the -rescan? Huh

It would be helpful to know for anyone else that stumbles across this thread when trying to diagnose a similar problem to yours Wink

Sure I'm sorry.

I was the problem (as usual).

-rescan usually takes a few minutes to complete... possibly as long as 30mins (depending on your computer etc) but it shouldn't take days or hours etc.

Theoretically, -rescanblockchain should do the job, but it's not working for you... whether that is caused by issues you've had with your block data and reindexing, I don't know. I suggested -rescan as it will simply start at the beginning and run through everything making sure that everything is checked.

Combined with the fact that the "big" rescanblockchain timed out on you, I'm not 100% convinced that your node is running without issues Undecided

Rescan is now complete but still no output from listunspent command. Rescan took probably 2h. I have an i7-3740QM with 16Gb DDR3 of RAM.

I've just been told that:
Quote
a timeout means it's still going. rescans take potentially hours.
it holds the main thread so your peers will disconnect, the RPC call will fail.

I don't know what else can I do.

When I run
Code:
bitcoin-cli getwalletinfo
I get
Code:

I did a rescan recently, and it took my (old) laptop several hours (reading from HDD).

If you stop Bitcoin Core... and then restart bitcoind using:
Code:
bitcoind -rescan

It should do a full rescan of all transactions relating to addresses in your wallet... WITHOUT needing to redownload the blocks etc.


Also, what output do you get if you use:
Code:
bitcoin-cli getaddressinfo "YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS"

Would that -rescan take how much time?
And isn't the '-rescanblockchain' option the same as that but with the possibility of limiting the range of that scan?

'getaddressinfo' shows me:
(I hide some of the chars. Not sure if they contain any sensitive info)
Code:
{
"address": "bc1...............................",
"scriptPubKey": "0014................................................................",
"ismine": true,

Those first messages are just showing that it was syncing new blocks... you can ignore the "unknown version" messages... while it can be alarming to see, they're 'normal'.

It's a bit tricky to diagnose when you're giving snippets of debug.log... so you got that "Error: Out of memory" AFTER you executed bitcoin-cli stop and the node was shutting down? Did you get the normal shutting down debug like this:
Code:

2020-06-05T06:31:44Z FlushStateToDisk: write coins cache to disk (677775 coins, 94304kB) started
And then it died at this point with the OOM? Huh


Sorry to miss critical information. My debug.log file is set to be split every 300Mb, so it would be silly of me to paste here the entire file.
That's why I was just pasting here the error messages plus a few lines before.

The error was happening when I issued 'bitcoin-cli stop'.
I was not getting the same output as you because the error happened. Otherwise I would get similar output as yours.

So, I think it was due to the fact that I tried to use a bigger 'dbcache' value of 12000 MB. And when it tried to dump the cache to the disk, it was running out of memory. I 'only' have 16Gb of RAM. Not sure this was being an issue.

Anyway, the process has finished, and I think I already have my full node data back.

And now that I have my full data back (I hope), I tried to import an address where I have a small amount of BTC. I imported the address using the PK. Then I tried to rescan the blockchain to update the wallet with this address transactions. I used 'bitcoin-cli rescanblockchain 597000 633472' but I got this error:

Code:
$ bitcoin-cli rescanblockchain 590000 633465
error: Could not connect to the server 127.0.0.1:8332 (error code 0 - "timeout reached")
Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port.

So I tried smaller ranges. With smaller ranges it is working and I get no errors. I tried between 597000 and 600000 and no errors. I tried other ranges and no errors either. But I still can't make that 'listunspent' command shows the utxos in this address I just imported.

What else can I do to make listunspent show my utxos?

This is doing the same whole shit again.
My chainstate folder is only about 1000 items.
I stopped the daemon again an I got the following output:
