Bitcoind in test network doesn't display transactions Hello i'm setting up the bitcoin-core daemon, i use version 160300 ( but it is same problem with newer version ).

I have made config like this:

testnet.conf

server=1
listen=50
listenonion=0
testnet=1
bind=127.0.0.1:18333
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
rpcuser=bob
rpcpassword=12345
rpcport=18332
port=18333

datadir=/home/testnet/
pid=/home/testnet/.pid


then i run bitcoind:

bitcoind -daemon -conf="~/btc/testnet.conf"

Now i got me some address, using:
bitcoin-cli --rpcuser="bob" --rpcpassword="12345" --rpcport=18332 getnewaddress "test_user"

Result is 2NF9YinW7mqpUGy1GySD2xEV11uVPbQggbb

Then i go to this site https://coinfaucet.eu/en/btc-testnet/

I enter this address 2NF9YinW7mqpUGy1GySD2xEV11uVPbQggbb and press send, it gives me back transaction id, this is it here https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/tx/d2aa744b33e60f959217cf2ae3852f8826bb2d977839b4a2be0a958aec6a9984/

But i do now: 

bitcoin-cli --rpcuser="bob" --rpcpassword="12345" --rpcport=18332 listtransactions  


and in result get this:

[
]


No incoming transactions. getbalance returns 0 

Can someone help. what is going on, do i need to mine blocks or something to get that transaction ? Or should i wait more for bitcoind to work ?

UPDATE:

The output of getblockcount is 1381543 and it seems to increase when i send getblockcount again

The output of getblockchaininfo is:

Sounds like you did not give bitcoind time to "sync", no other explanation comes to mind. Starting bitcoin-qt may be more obvious.
