Wrong balance with ropsten network #89

Closed lockie closed 6 years ago

lockie commented 6 years ago

Hello. I have a problem with account balance using ropsten network. Here's what I've done:

  1. set additional Geth args to--syncmode=fast --cache 512 --testnet
  2. turned off thin client
  3. Got 1 ether from faucet, here it is: https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0x09FE965D59ef7cB566B3bEDF8239fcDcae9ef53A
  4. Waited for Geth to sync 2.8M blocks out of ropsten.

Still, the account balance in Etherwall is zero: https://imgur.com/a/sggYE I'm using Etherwall 2.2.1 and Geth 1.8.2. Thanks in advance.

Hmm I didn't use ropsten for a while because it had issues. This is probably a geth problem tho. Can you do geth attach in another terminal and see what eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0]); gives you?

NOTE: change the [0] in that command to whatever index for that account in the eth.accounts list. You can also use "0x0000..." direct address instead in the eth.getBalance() call.

If you get a 0 there too it's a geth issue, you might be on the wrong fork which did use to happen on ropsten (that's why EW uses rinkeby by default now).

Yeah, it gives zero. I suppose I should report it under go-ethereum then?

Correct. Chances are it's just a fork/split and you're on some bad ropsten chain. Try re-syncing from scratch.

All right, thanks for your help!
