Title: getbalance and getreceivedbyaccount
Post by: codler on July 30, 2011, 04:18:49 PM
What is the difference between RPC command "getbalance account" and "getreceivedbyaccount account"?

I believe getreceivedbyaccount sums incoming transactions, but getbalance sums all transactions (sent, received, mined, fees) on a given account.

For example, if an account received 200 BTC, then subsequently sent 20 BTC, the functions would return 200 BTC and 180 BTC respectively.

I haven't done enough transactions to test this, however, so I could be wrong.
