I am wondering how I can get my bitcoin address to have a negative value.  Can some of you hackers out there help me figure out a way to reach realize a negative output?  This would be much appreciated.



My answer is simple

That appears to be a problem with blockchain.info because there is a missing transaction

No. There are no missing transactions from/to 3M1S3tZVkEJw7zVBtn1Mq8McVyfnNMAuoX
blockchain.info site just calculates inputs and outputs incorrectly

Not possible in the btc world. Hence deflationary as you can't spend what you did not have.

It is not possible to "overdraw" your bitcoin balance. If you attempted to spend inputs that were not there then the TX would be rejected by the network.

Your address does not really have a "balance" but rather has a set of unspent inputs that were received from previous transactions. In order to spend your BTC associated with a specific address you will need to spend a specific unspent input.

Well I'll be darned.

I actually do learn something new every day that I am involved with Bitcoin.

Technically, addresses do no have balances: they are simply hashes of public keys. Private keys can be used to spend specific "coins." A coin is defined by it's [transaction hash]:[output index].

Code:
Does anybody have negative "balance" examples on hand? rawdog wants to know.
sec.
i'd code this up and show what I mean if I were actually interested in counting pools rather than just playing at math :p
probably doesn't come across well in text
;;balance 3M1S3tZVkEJw7zVBtn1Mq8McVyfnNMAuoX
-0.00887168
phillipsjk: who is rawdog?
dsnrk: lol. grepping my logs; 90% of balance requests are you doing either ethereum or that negative one.
I don't doubt that for even a second

He likes ranting incoherently on Youtube. Thinks Bitcoin is a waste of time.

In that example, the hash is not one of a private key; but instead the hash of a payment script (It starts with 3 to indicate that (Pay to Script Hash)). Currently those are mainly used for multisignature transactions, but they don't have to be. You could embed a transaction spending some coin that was previously sent to another "address" for example (but you would only be able to broadcast the transaction once AFAIK).

Also, the various block explorers are not always reliable. I suspect "stealth addresses" may mess them up.

Edit: It was pointed out my explanation was slightly wrong. I crossed out the non-carefully vetted statements.

You can't be serious right? You cannot have a negative balance with Bitcoin. It's impossible (or at least should be impossible) to do.
yes,impossible. If possible, the limit of 21 million will be expanded. The amount of btc in one address can be sent out more than it owns. Then infinite number of btc can be created out.

Are you trying to see if you can create a negative balance OR do you have a negative balance at some web site?  If so which web site? Or, are you a troll?

It can happen sometimes in the blockchain because it is not good synced, or if you have tried to double spend.

When you resync your wallet it will have the correct amount.

If this happened to you it will be a bug from just the blockchain nodes or your wallet.
I think you meant Blockchain.info, not blockchain. I don't think the blockchain can get unsynced, it's where you sync yourself with.
