Title: Negative BTC final balance Post by: supika on September 16, 2019, 12:22:18 PM Hi,
Does anybody know how is possible to have an address with negative final balance? In this case -0.4442224 BTC https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Fr8qEa7vcwJikeW9q6thaYZPacGY5CQAb Thank you for your opinions!

blockchain.com is just a block explorer... They just run a couple of nodes and parse the blocks and unconfirmed transactions they receive. If somebody messed up the parsing code, you end up with things like negative balances. This bug has no significance in the real world, blockchain.com is not the owner of bitcoin, it's just a private company that builds things like an online wallet and a block explorer. Most other blockexplorers are probably fine: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1Fr8qEa7vcwJikeW9q6thaYZPacGY5CQAb |
