<p>I'm trying to learn how to programmatically interact with the Bitcoin protocol. I've, seemingly, successfully generated a private key, WIF, and public address with code.

<p>to import the address. The address has shown up in Bitcoin-Qt but the transaction is not appearing.</p>

I would try the -rescan command line option.

As Nate said, the `-rescan` should fix this. See [How exactly does a rescan work?](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1249/how-exactly-does-rescan-work) for more details.

# Help with missing transaction

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-03-27)

I'm trying to learn how to programmatically interact with the Bitcoin protocol. I've, seemingly, successfully generated a private key, WIF, and public address with code. I used Coinbase to send .001 BT to [14egr6kfYY4xiSVPim2sJnED4t89Yvn8hQ](https://blockchain.info/address/14egr6kfYY4xiSVPim2sJnED4t89Yvn8hQ). I then used the Bitcoin-Qt debug console and issued

```
walletpassphrase <WIF> More

```

to import the address. The address has shown up in Bitcoin-Qt but the transaction is not appearing.
