So from time to time I use my monero-wallet-cli together with the monerod. I start up monerod and wait until its up to date. Then I start up the monero-wallet-cli but its empty.
Now I have to use the refresh command and wait about 10-20min for all blocks to be re-scanned.
I can't imagine that I have to wait that long before i have a balance and can move it from old confirmed blocks that I synced days before.
So how does the monero-wallet-cli auto refresh work? Is there someway to only refresh new blocks or is monero-wallet-cli already doing that, if yes can I somehow see the progress?
I would love to just have the daemon run in the background or on a pc in my network and only open monero-wallet-cli when I need to make a transaction but having to wait for it to refresh all blocks takes just to long.
Do I miss something that could help me with the problem?
