Hey guys,
I'm using Bitcoin Core v25 connected to my Fulcrum server with Sparrow wallet. I recently moved funds between hardware wallets in Sparrow, but now Core shows all my sending transactions but none for receiving.
Sparrow shows everything correctly though.
Why isn't Core showing my balance as positive? It feels like it should just work since everything was done in Sparrow.
Any advice would be awesome!
Looks like Sparrow might use separate wallet files for different devices. You should check the dropdown in the top right of Bitcoin Core. You need to select the specific wallet you want to look at, or else it won’t show all the info.
If you’re using Fulcrum, then Core shouldn’t have a mirrored watch-only wallet like it does with EPS or direct Sparrow connections.
You might have connected Sparrow to Core differently before, creating a watch-only wallet, which is why you see sending transactions there.
But now, with Fulcrum, your new wallet descriptors from the hardware wallet aren’t imported to that watch-only wallet.
Sounds like you need to import your new wallet manually.
Thanks for the help!
I actually fixed it by reinstalling Core before I saw your reply. But your explanation made a lot of sense and I think it would’ve worked too.
That whole situation was driving me nuts, so I appreciate your input!
At least I finally understand what went wrong haha.
