Bitcoin

Bitcoin Core – Some of my addresses with funds are showing as empty through my node.

I recently connected a sparrow wallet to my node to avoid using a private Electrum server.

However, some addresses containing Bitcoin are not recognized. We know the funds are there because we verified the address in ‘mempool.space’. Before I go too far, I would like to explain that this is not a blank limit issue as these are the first three addresses in my wallet. Not later.

So I closed Bitcoin Core, opened ‘bitcoin.conf’ and typed:

 reindex-chainstate=1

Someone recommended I try this to get through utxos:
It seemed fine, but each time it eventually stopped responding.

Now I’m wondering if I should use ‘reindex=1’ via ‘bitcoin.conf’ or enter the command line and use: bitcoin-qt -reindex. Does this mean we’ll have to completely redo the entire blockchain?

You might have to do that because it’s not working. I know my laptop fell asleep a few times when I was building my first blockchain. Perhaps this caused the block to become corrupted? Since then I’ve figured out how to keep my laptop from sleeping.

What do you think?
