Zcash: Bought zcash, but it never showed up in my wallet

Created on 23 Jan 2018  Â·  2Comments  Â·  Source: zcash/zcash

On January 5th, I have bought 100 euros of ZCash (about 0.21). I can see the balance associated to the address I provided the seller online on this website but I am unable to see it using the terminal application in Ubuntu.

Actual behaviour + errors

Running zcash-cli getinfo, I get
{
"version": 1001450,
"protocolversion": 170002,
"walletversion": 60000,
"balance": 0.00000000,
"blocks": 122215,
"timeoffset": 0,
"connections": 8,
"proxy": "",
"difficulty": 1925729.623203483,
"testnet": false,
"keypoololdest": 1515144475,
"keypoolsize": 101,
"paytxfee": 0.00000000,
"relayfee": 0.00000100,
"errors": ""
}

And the account addresses confirm the one associated to the zcash in the link.
zcash-cli getaddressesbyaccount "" gives me:
[
"t1JMPQqQTUfe1iKWDJRaaKqjLKEdDhCweJi",
"t1V9e1V84uUrgcryxjigrXSgJa8i2zPzkY6"
]

I also run a command to check the transactions, which seem to be none:
zcash-cli listtransactions
[
]

The version of Zcash you were using:

Zcash Daemon version v1.0.14

The current chain-height is around 259,647 blocks - your getinfo output shows 122,215 – so your local install is showing the state from an earlier time. Give the node time to catch up, and you should see an accurate balance.

Closing this. Reopen if you're still having issues.
