Topic: messed up account balance with generate transactions? (Read 1108 times)
The default client doesn't handle lots of things very well. In addition to what you pointed out, "generate" transactions don't count as received, so if you do something like listreceivedbyaddress, it won't show up in there. Also, accounts balances won't show up correctly (they don't take generated coins into account), so the only way to see your proper balance is with getinfo.
Eligius uses generate transactions to distribute pool coins. I got a few, to an address I have assigned to "eligius" in my wallet, but they are showing up in the "" account. Is this the expected/intended behavior?
