Performing a re-scan of the blockchain
This guide is a walktrough on how to perform a re-scan of the blockchain (this guide can be used for both XFUEL and XBY). This should be done when you've imported a private key and your balance doesn't match that of what the block explorer is showing. You can check your wallet address on the block explorer (XBY or XFUEL) to see if there is a mismatch in balances.
As with all guides we always recommend that you have a fresh backup of your wallet.dat and/or private key.
Windows
1. Close down the current running instance of the wallet
2. Load command prompt
3. Navigate to the folder where your xtrabytes/xfuel wallet is stored. (For this example I have used C:\Xtrabytes)
4. Run the executable file with the following switch -rescan
5. Once you've ran this command the wallet will load and the re-scanning process will begin. This could take a while
After the rescan has completed your balance should now match. If you are still having issue please raise a support ticket here.
For MACos you have to methods
Method 1
Right click xtrabytes-Qt
Go to Contents/MacOS/xtrabytes-Qt
Run terminalscan
Drag file to terminal
Type --rescan
Method 2
Open Terminal
Type cd /Applications/xtrabytes-Qt.app/Contents/MacOs/xtrabytes-Qt -rescan
The location is the location of where your xtrabytes wallet is located if your wallet is on the desktop the path will be different and its better to use the first method
