However here is the link for one of your addresses and we can see that it has balance on the test-net, note that for this I used blockcypher explorer as they have an option for test-net as well as for main-net:

https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/address/2MxoU6Sz8gyWfLCF2b8a8Wv56VT1MHdSB2x/ - balance 1.1btc at the moment of checking.

Thank you !! I am a beginner in bitcoin, the forum helps a lot.

If you are looking around at test-net Danny pointed out why you don't see anything with these.

However here is the link for one of your addresses and we can see that it has balance on the test-net, note that for this I used blockcypher explorer as they have an option for test-net as well as for main-net:

and this one is empty: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/address/2NEquFrdTthcctUv3tUkeNU7FbbkgMT2812/

Main-net addresses begin with "1" , "3" or "bc1" depending on which function you use for generating the private key.

From bitcoin core:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-16-165:~/bitcoin/src$ ./bitcoin-cli -testnet getaddressesbyaccount ""

You are using testnet.

Then, i go to https://blockchain.info/search?search=2NEquFrdTthcctUv3tUkeNU7FbbkgMT2812%22

Blockchain.info is searching on mainNet (not testnet).

[
"2MxoU6Sz8gyWfLCF2b8a8Wv56VT1MHdSB2x",
"2NEquFrdTthcctUv3tUkeNU7FbbkgMT2812"
]

Then, i go to https://blockchain.info/search?search=2NEquFrdTthcctUv3tUkeNU7FbbkgMT2812%22

The webpage told me unrecognized search pattern.

Is the bitcoin core address not recognised ?

I go to https://blockexplorer.com/

The webpage told me "no matching records found".

Which address format should i use
