Topic: Negative Balance in RPC Accounts (Read 236 times)

You should try with :


And you can make a script with the list of addys to get the real balance from each one.

This is expected behavior with accounts. This is also one reason why you shouldn't use it.

Using 'Accounts' inside of core is deprecated. Check https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#rpc-quick-reference.

If you need to handle different type of user, you'll need to create an external database and link them to addresses generated by core.
The 'account functionality' inside of core does not work properly and is deprecated.

Do not use and/or rely on it.

 Hi There,

I am using bitcoin core with RPC and have linked few accounts to it. When I run "listaccounts" command via bitcoin-cli, it gives following output:

I can't understand why these four accounts have negative balance. And when I add all these negative balances, outcome is this  "5ab4aafee94ff2258d2237a5": 0.01493139, balance.

Help in all ways is highly appreciated. God Bless You
