Raw
steps-to-weird-behavior-on-bcoin.md

steps:

  • npm install (-g) bclient which provides bwallet-cli
  • make sure your ~/.bcoin/wallet.conf contains network: testnet
  • run an spv node on btc testnet (bcoin --network testnet --spv, or you could spawn one programmatically)
  • wait until it’s fully synced
  • get the receive address of the “default” account (bwallet-cli account get default)
  • send some btc testnet from a faucet to that address
  • bwallet-cli balance should immediately show some unconfirmed amount
  • wait until the tx gets 1 conf, now the amount that was previously unconfirmed should show both as confirmed and unconfirmed
