Thank You for that greyhawk,

so basically it just created new addresses to send back the change.

Man I was worried that my coins got hijacked somehow Smiley

Sorry for the newb questions, still trying to wrap my head around all of this stuff.

Thanks Again,
Much Appreciated.

Hi Folks,
this is my first post here.

i recently purchased some bitcoin, 3 coins 2 weeks ago and 5 coins 2 days ago.

I received them fine in my wallet (bitcoin qt 0.8.0)

I just sent 0.1 bitcoin to my friends bets of bitcoin account and 0.1 to my bets of bitcoin account.

I checked the blockchain to see how they were going and something weird showed up, here is the link,
https://blockchain.info/address/1KT95osV36cLCzwkCvjkvtQP4vdAegfUuG

my address is the one ending in fuug, as you can see there shows 2 transactions but with 2 receiving addresses in each transaction.
You can see that $9 (0.1 bitcoin)was sent to one address and $441 (4.89 bitcoin) to another in the same transaction and in the other transaction again $9 (0.1 bitcoin) and $261 (2.89 bitcoin) was sent to the other address in that transaction.

I only sent 0.1 bitcoin in each transaction but it shows that $720 was subtracted from my total and sent to these other 2 addresses and that my final balance is $1.73 on the blockchain site, i dont understand whats going on, how can those other addresses receive those dollars from my address but it still says that i have 7.819 bit coin in my wallet ?

am i missing something ?

if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
