More going out the wallet that it has available?

[Tyger]

Hey guys,

I was scouting transactions when i found this:
https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1GzPKPcGHhEPu8tWuSWF1rxyJwmvczAjQE

according to blockchain, this address gives out more then it received.
You can see 1.2btc going in (first transaction) and at least 20btc going out (second transaction).

Can anyone explain this?

For me the same amount that went in has gone out. It was probably just a glitch or you read it wrong.

its not a fault of bitcoin.. it's a fault of the websites display

basically if you own a wallet with 20 addresses, blockchain.info may only show one.


here is a better display of that transaction

Or maybe some transactions has simply  been made off chain ?

This is a type of anonymity functionality. If not mentioned, the change of a transaction goes to a different address in the same wallet. Next time there is a transaction, it can take from that address too ao it may look like the original address sent out more.

When I look at it on blockchain.info, it looks like ~1.24 btc are transferred to the address, then the same amount leaves the address.

Some block explorers will attempt to display the estimated amount of bitcoin actually transferred from multiple addresses (eg the sum of the inputs minus the output that it thinks is the change address) and this amount will be displayed on every address that is sending bitcoin for that transaction
