The "accounts" feature of bitcoind is a single-entry ledger that really has nothing to do with the block chain at all, or even the generally accepted principles of accounting. It is an unfortunately named feature meant for a particular use case that is now somewhat anachronistic.

But anyway, your "" account has a negative balance because you moved funds out of it, or tagged some transaction moving funds out of your wallet.

Anybody can explain me, I have Bitcoind.
Three accounts.
bitcoind getbalance "" 0  / -0.52829038
bitcoind getbalance 1 0   /  0.08315228
bitcoind getbalance 3 0   /  1.03947556
bitcoind getbalance   / 0.09433746
I have one 0.5 BTC unconfirmed transaction.
Why first account has negative balance, and third is 1.03 BTC and "1" has 0.083
So output of getbalance after confirmation for 0.5 BTC should be 1.11 BTC? Isn't it?
