you can share youre transaction id, or youre can share addres is about youre negative balance
maybe double spend cause youre blockchain balance is negative

Sounds very confusing since i dont experience such thing and as mentioned its somehow a bug on blockchain since its already 3 years old blockchain and thinking of the new updates it would somehow fix it.I dont know what would be the precise answer on this because this is definitely technical matters.

i don't know if we can call this a bug but it is something like that.
you have a compromised private key. either your private key is stolen or you have imported a private key that is used by other people in your wallet.

what happened is that you received some coins and multiple people with access to that private key spent that transaction output. blockchain.info has both of them so it deducts both values from your total balance leaving you with negative balance and as soon as transactions confirm and the double spends drop out the problem will be fixed.

I think you are still using their old wallet version which is not updated anymore. Try to upgrade to new version than you may find no any such visual bugs. I have never seen something like negative balance in my blockchain wallet before and haven't heard about it before.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

If that amount is not really important to you, then you can forget about that wallet and make a new one since you haven't used that wallet in almost three years and that amount isn't huge tho. And maybe you're right for being old of that wallet version because blockchain.info made more updates on this past three years.

I received about 0.002 on my wallet that I haven't used in almost 3 years and it is unconfirmed still but it shows that there are 3 sent out transactions of 0.002 each, leaving me with -0.004 balance. I dont know how these transactions were even sent or made out or how -0.004 balance is even possible?

What should I do? Are my original 0.002 gone? Wtf is this.

P.s. the wallet is blockchain and when i use the app it shows me that there are no transactions... could it be because the wallet is so old and i also havent used it in a long time
