Hello,

I sometimes see addresses with negative balance..  like -0.05 BTC
I don't understand how it possible.
Where can I read about this features?

Thanks.


If you check that same address on a different block explorer, you will find that the address will have a 0 or positive balance. The node probably glitched out and factored in a double spent transaction, making the balance negative. In actuality however, the balance is still >=0.
