Title: Blockchain.info shows wrong (too high) balance
Post by: milkyman on April 25, 2014, 11:13:39 PM
Anyone have an idea what went wrong here?

I have 0.10243500 BTC on address 1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU. This is confirmed by

- my bitcoin-qt (using -rescan)
- http://blockexplorer.com/address/1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU
- http://blockr.io/address/info/1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU
- https://www.biteasy.com/blockchain/addresses/1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU

However, blockchain.info shows a higher balance of 0.102735 BTC:
https://blockchain.info/address/1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU

The discrepancy obviously lies in these two escrowed transactions:
https://blockchain.info/tx/05fabac31f487cbc352cda9d20e22fa5378b831deb32d7aeccb011d34907284a

Apparently, this is a problem, since I use the mastercoin protocol using the masterchest wallet. It seems like masterchest gets wrong data from blockchain.info, see
https://masterchest.info/lookupadd.aspx?address=1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU

On this page, the BTC balance is displayed wrong as well. Since the masterchest wallet communicates with bitcoin-qt, the discrepancy results in a wrong mastercoin balance (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484025.140).

Does anyone have a solution? Contact blockchain.info?

Thanks
