As far as I can tell, sending to a multi-sig address will only show up in your balance or at an address if *all* private keys for the multi-sig are in your wallet. This negates the whole point of multi-sig transactions.
I cannot work out how you're supposed to tell if a multi-sig address where *less than all* private keys are in your wallet has received any bitcoins, or what the balance is. It could be there is no way to tell (making this functionality extremely limited) or it could be that bitcoins simply never arrive at all.
Either way this is such a shame as multi-sig would be a nice secure way to store your bitcoins, but with this currently functionality, it's pretty much useless. :|

getreceivedbyaddress returns 0 as well.
Anyone?
Code:
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon>bitcoind -testnet getreceivedbyaddress 2NBSBcf2KfjPEEqVusmrWdmUeNHRiUTS3Li
0.00000000
Anyone?
Hi guys,
So I'm experimenting with multi-signature addresses on testnet.
I've created myself a two-of-two multi-signature address for an account named "1":
Confirmed that the address is associated with the account:
Sent a transaction to this address from another account:
Confirmed that the transaction exists:
But the transaction just never arrives (yet it has been deducted from my main balance):
Any idea what's going on here?
Cheers, Paul.
