Asset balance for watch-only addresses

Question

I'm trying to get the asset balance for a watch only address. I've added the address to an extra account in the wallet. 

I can get the balance for the address in the wallet with getaddressbalances but not for a watch-only address. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.

I've included some command-line info on what I'm trying to do:

root@ShadowNode:~/multichain# multichain-cli chain0 validateaddress 1Udrg6fZCkbuQATmf9ugQQXRfMPhE9fMLZ9cSc {"method":"validateaddress","params":["1Udrg6fZCkbuQATmf9ugQQXRfMPhE9fMLZ9cSc"],"id":1,"chain_name":"chain0"}   { "isvalid" : true, "address" : "1Udrg6fZCkbuQATmf9ugQQXRfMPhE9fMLZ9cSc", "ismine" : true, "iswatchonly" : false, "isscript" : false, "pubkey" : "03847ef770c8ebc780064688608087d9fd24e76a239abc2010644c4d2985400fd6", "iscompressed" : true, "account" : "" } root@ShadowNode:~/multichain# multichain-cli chain0 getaddressbalances 1Udrg6fZCkbuQATmf9ugQQXRfMPhE9fMLZ9cSc {"method":"getaddressbalances","params":["1Udrg6fZCkbuQATmf9ugQQXRfMPhE9fMLZ9cSc"],"id":1,"chain_name":"chain0"}   [ { "name" : "asset1", "assetref" : "112-265-21489", "qty" : 999594.00000000 } ] root@ShadowNode:~/multichain# multichain-cli chain0 validateaddress 1A5NAdx687vnZky9MSxdpZSyKjrsGZZJ39wwYu {"method":"validateaddress","params":["1A5NAdx687vnZky9MSxdpZSyKjrsGZZJ39wwYu"],"id":1,"chain_name":"chain0"}   { "isvalid" : true, "address" : "1A5NAdx687vnZky9MSxdpZSyKjrsGZZJ39wwYu", "ismine" : false, "iswatchonly" : true, "isscript" : false, "account" : "Counterpart" } root@ShadowNode:~/multichain# multichain-cli chain0 getaddressbalances 1A5NAdx687vnZky9MSxdpZSyKjrsGZZJ39wwYu {"method":"getaddressbalances","params":["1A5NAdx687vnZky9MSxdpZSyKjrsGZZJ39wwYu"],"id":1,"chain_name":"chain0"}   [ ]

 

Answer 1

Thanks. It sounds like you may have uncovered a simple problem we need to fix. I'll talk to the developers and let you know.

Answer 2

This issue should be fixed in alpha 11 just released, i.e. you should now be able to call getaddressbalances with a watch-only address.
