Title: How is a negative balance possible? Post by: BitcoinArsenal on January 01, 2018, 11:43:14 PM I happened to find an account that has a negative balance. I remember that some time ago I had found another account that also had a negative balance. How is this technically possible?
Here is an example https://blockchain.info/address/14FEwXgmVL37WvqVAucoijV1piKyzSCxzc Title: Re: How is a negative balance possible?

FYI, the correct term is "address", not "account". An account is what you have at Coinbase, though some wallets also have a feature that allows you to separate the wallet into different "accounts".

Yes, I am aware of the term, but it happens to me to use account instead of address sometimes. Double spend does explain the issues. I was wondering why the second spend has not been confirmed for such a long time. Double spent clears it up. |
