Title: Electrum created a negative balance - rounding errors Post by: marked on February 04, 2012, 07:32:36 PM I had 0.006btc and sent out 0.0059 with a 0.0001 tx fee to create a 0.00 balance. The 0.006 was built with 6 0.001 transactions. The transaction is now 7 hours STILL awaiting confirmation. please explain how to get confirmed transaction and from the following.... >Electrum-0.35-Build1.exe history pending 62d4b6 ... -0.006000 -0.000000 # balance: -1.73472347598e-18 I think there are some rounding errors somewhere within the code. marked Title: Re: Electrum created a negative balance - rounding errors Post by: vuce on February 04, 2012, 07:38:08 PM Using floating point numbers?

That's because it's been broadcasted but not yet included in a block. It probably has a low priority.marked Title: Re: Electrum created a negative balance - rounding errors Post by: marked on February 04, 2012, 09:20:10 PM That's because it's been broadcasted but not yet included in a block. It probably has a low priority. because of the 0.0001 tx fee, not 0.0005? it has now finally cleared - still have the negative balance though. I didn't think that was possible. >Electrum-0.35-Build1.exe history 2012-02-04 20:07:04 62d4b6...f -0.006000 -0.000000 # balance: -1.73472347598e-18 only took nine hours to confirm. marked Title: Re: Electrum created a negative balance - rounding errors Post by: vuce on February 04, 2012, 09:37:08 PM That's because it's been broadcasted but not yet included in a block.
