Hello,

I use Bitcoin Core as my wallet.

When I used to check my address on blockchain, it was accurate.

But nowadays, I see a lot of outgoing transactions from my wallet which I know nothing about and even the balance on the blockchain website is not matching the balance on my wallet.

Is this a bug or what ?

Did you import an address recently? perhaps a private key you found online or a brainwallet?

Which address did you check? Bitcoin Core has multiple addresses.

The most likely explanation is that your BTC are being stolen from you. You would not be the first to suffer from this, and not the last...
I don't know what operating system and wallet software you use, what kind of other software you installed recently etc. There have been quite a number of cases where bitcoin wallets (even password protected ones) were being emptied using information gathered through some trojan/keylogger.

Alas, once your computer security is compromised, creating a safe wallet and transferring what's left in your current wallet there to save at least some bits is not so easy - you'd need to set up a second computer as safely as possible, generate a fresh wallet, and transfer your bitcoins there after your old wallet has caught up with the blockchain, so you don't generate invalid ("double spend") transactions.

Without more detailed information, it is difficult to determine what is happening. However, people are often concerned about discrepancies because they don't understand how wallets work.

The Bticoin Core wallet contains at least 100 addresses. Most of them are hidden from you. When bitcoins are sent, an amount that exceeds the specified amount is removed from the address and the extra is sent to another address. Sometimes all of the bitcoins at an address are sent. Sometimes bitcoins will be sent from multiple addresses.

In the end, if your wallet says you have all your bitcoins, then you are probably ok, despite what you might see on blockchain.info.


The most likely explanation is that your BTC are being stolen from you.

That is not the most likely explanation. Note that he did not say he is missing bitcoins. He said that the address he looked up doesn't match the amount in his wallet. The most likely explanation is that the bitcoins are in other addresses in his wallet.

At all.

Which address did you check? Bitcoin Core has multiple addresses.

I know, address that I've been using a lot, my primary address you can say.

What you said here is also happening

But the issue is, blockchain was reading my address perfectly, now I even see transactions that I know nothing about.

Could you be seeing "change" transactions? Some transactions involve sending back change and may appear like a different Tx.

Hello,

But nowadays, I see a lot of outgoing transactions from my wallet which I know nothing about and even the balance on the blockchain website is not matching the balance on my wallet.

Is this a bug or what ?

maybe you should contact blockchain bitcoin core support (if they exist )

or is there anyone that know your blockchain password ?

or have you ever log in your blockchain at outside ( like internet cafe instead of home ? )

I use Bitcoin Core as my wallet bro, not blockchain.

Lets take a look here



Did not you make this transaction ?

https://blockchain.info/tx/64593d16c00aa04f82f527de11d6df7afd47c151c1c504a11797b5cdc4b410ca

Has this 0.668 BTC been stolen from you or you intentionally sent it ?

It's fine, bitcoinqt doesn't have a "From" address, blockchain just indexes, you can never control from which address your bitcoin-qt sends.

Then 1HeXTiyw6MHpGj2NQRdi3aitgdo5zonmHZ is also your address maintained by your bitcoin core wallet. This is called change. As long as your total balance is intact, nothing to worry...
