Blockchain.info wallets has nothing to do with bitcoind accounts.

bitcoind has everything to do with blockchain.info wallets if you're using one to connect to the other --> look

Blockchain.info offers an API that is largely compatible with the bitcoind JSON-RPC interface, but their internal implementation may be very different. Unless explicitly stated, I don't think you can assume that the Blockchain.info API behaves in the same way that bitcoind would.

Hey,

according to the this wiki page, account to account transfers don't have a tx fee:

Quote

Moves are not broadcast to the network, and never incur transaction fees; they just adjust account balances in the wallet.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Accounts_explained

However, when I do the move command using the JSON-PRC api on a Blockchain.info wallet, the transaction creates a fee. It moves the bitcoins around, but it subtracts the standard miner's fee.

Here's an example of a move transaction I executed (from one account to another that have been set on my wallet):
https://blockchain.info/tx/b079d4abc0ed38382ae1978b1462a291459cfc6160bf7060ce4f1fa9c3a29d44

I don't understand this. It doesn't look right. Can someone explain how the move command is supposed to work? Is this maybe a problem with the Blockchain.info implementation?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
