Title: How does blockchain.info work?
Post by: bitcoinhero on February 17, 2012, 11:30:34 PM
Hello, I'm new to bitcoins and this website blockchain.info is very confusing to me

How come when I search my address it says I only have .004 bitcoins? And some of my transactions seem wrong O.o

Can anyone teach me the basics of this website? Or point me towards a website or something that explains more about it

Thanks

Do you have more than one address, bitcoin send some coins back to address you own

Well, it doesn't bother me that the amount is incorrect, I'm just wondering how or why this happens

Also, is there anyway to hide your IP addresses that come up on blockchain.info?

Tor (https://www.torproject.org/)

I don't think that would work unless you could run the bitcoin client through Tor

Exactly.  It's very easy to run the bitcoin client through the Tor proxy.
