With [BIP157](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0157.mediawiki) you can cache block filters locally to use
later for rescans in the case you need to restore your wallets. Our [chain](../applications/chain.md) project gives us
an API with the ability to query for filters.
You can rescan your wallet with filters with [`WalletApi.rescanNeutrinoWallet()`](https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/bitcoins/core/api/wallet/NeutrinoWalletApi.scala#L77)
### Example
To run this example you need to make sure you have access to a bitcoind binary. You can download this with bitcoin-s by doing
`sbt downloadBitcoind`
```scala
//we need an actor system and app config to power this
implicit val system: ActorSystem = ActorSystem(s"wallet-rescan-example")
implicit val ec: ExecutionContext = system.dispatcher
implicit val appConfig: BitcoinSAppConfig = BitcoinSTestAppConfig.getNeutrinoTestConfig()
val bip39PasswordOpt = None
//ok now let's spin up a bitcoind and a bitcoin-s wallet with funds in it
val walletWithBitcoindF = for {
bitcoind <- BitcoinSFixture.createBitcoindWithFunds()
walletWithBitcoind <- BitcoinSWalletTest.createWalletWithBitcoindCallbacks(bitcoind, bip39PasswordOpt)
} yield walletWithBitcoind
val walletF = walletWithBitcoindF.map(_.wallet)
val bitcoindF = walletWithBitcoindF.map(_.bitcoind)
//let's see what our initial wallet balance is
val initBalanceF = for {
w <- walletF
balance <- w.getBalance()
} yield {
println(s"Initial wallet balance=${balance}")
balance
}
//ok great! We have money in the wallet to start,
//now let's delete our internal tables that hold our utxos
//and addresses so that we end up with a 0 balance
val clearedWalletF = for {
w <- walletF
_ <- initBalanceF
clearedWallet <- w.clearAllUtxosAndAddresses()
zeroBalance <- clearedWallet.getBalance()
} yield {
println(s"Balance after clearing utxos: ${zeroBalance}")
clearedWallet
}
//we need to pick how many addresses we want to generate off of our keychain
//when doing a rescan, this means we are generating 100 addrsses
//and then looking for matches. If we find a match, we generate _another_
//100 fresh addresses and search those. We keep doing this until we find
//100 addresses that do not contain a match.
val addrBatchSize = 100
//ok now that we have a cleared wallet, we need to rescan and find our fudns again!
val rescannedBalanceF = for {
w <- clearedWalletF
_ <- w.fullRescanNeutrinoWallet(addrBatchSize)
balanceAfterRescan <- w.getBalance()
} yield {
println(s"Wallet balance after rescan: ${balanceAfterRescan}")
()
}
//cleanup
val cleanupF = for {
_ <- rescannedBalanceF
walletWithBitcoind <- walletWithBitcoindF
_ <- BitcoinSWalletTest.destroyWalletWithBitcoind(walletWithBitcoind)
} yield ()
Await.result(cleanupF, 60.seconds)
```
