Title: How to see my balance beside to open wallet!
Post by: blindminer on January 24, 2016, 04:01:07 PM
Hi,
Sorry, my English is terrible. I hope i can explain my problem!
I use latest version of Bitcoin Core wallet. Every time i send any amount of found from my wallet to an address,also a small of amount sent to another address in my wallet like multi sig wallets.
I want to check my balance in my cellphone via blockchain.com but with this situation i can't see my whole balance in a single address.
is there any solution ?

Not really. Those addresses are called Change addresses. To check your balance on a block explorer, you would need to know all of your addresses.

The other option is to make Bitcoin Core not use change addresses but rather send the change back to an address you already have. This is advised against.

If you go in the options menu and enable coin control, when you send, you can set a custom change address. Just set that change address to be the same on every time.

OP, the easiest way to check wallet balance (not just single address) is to use https://www.walletexplorer.com

It's not always 100% accurate and it may not shown most recent txs but still very useful.

it is called raw change address,
If I am not mistaken .
your balance is in your wallet not just in single address,but in different address in your wallet.
you can see the addresses of your wallet with backup wallet.
